This one lets you help decide what comes next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eChattanooga Whiskey is Tennessee's most decorated craft distillery — and one of the most technically ambitious in the country. Founded in 2011 by Tim Piersant, the company didn't just open a distillery. They changed the law to do it. After discovering that Prohibition-era restrictions still banned distilling in Hamilton County, Piersant and his team spent two years lobbying the Tennessee legislature, ultimately passing House Bill 102 in 2013 and opening the floodgates for distilling across the majority of the state's 95 counties. In 2015, they became the first distillery to craft whiskey in Chattanooga in over 100 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eTheir calling card is the Tennessee High Malt — a style of their own invention built on a four-grain mash bill loaded with specialty malted grains: malted rye, caramel malted barley, and honey malted barley, fermented over an extended seven-day process to coax out rich, fruity complexity before a low-proof distillation run on a custom 30-foot column still. The result is a malt-forward, distinctly un-cookie-cutter bourbon that sits in a category largely of its own making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Bottled in Bond Vintage Series takes that philosophy further — single-season releases, 100 proof, vintage-dated, each blending multiple experimental mash bills developed at their downtown Experimental Distillery before being scaled up at their Riverfront production house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis kit is a deliberate scouting mission. Later this year, Prime Barrel will select a single barrel from Chattanooga Whiskey. This tasting is how we get there — six bottles, six expressions, one conversation about what makes each one tick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in the Kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChattanooga Whiskey 91 | 91 Proof\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe flagship. Four grains, three specialty malts — selected by Head Distiller Grant McCracken as Barrel #91 from the first 100 experimental runs. Aged in toasted and charred oak, then finished in a 4,000-gallon charred oak solera barrel, which adds consistency and a depth that belies its age. Notes of butterscotch pudding, dried apricot, honeyed toast, and pound cake. Medium-bodied with a lingering, malty-sweet finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChattanooga Cask 111 | 111 Proof\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe unfiltered, barrel-strength expression of the same signature mash bill — hand-selected in 6–10 barrel lots for more intense cask character. No filtration; each bottle occasionally carries a trace of barrel sediment. Where the 91 is approachable, the 111 is a full-contact encounter with the wood. Notes of chocolate-covered cherry, toasted coconut, and cinnamon. Full-bodied with a warming, malty finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChattanooga Rye 99 | 99 Proof\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTennessee Rye Malt — Chattanooga's malt-forward answer to the category. Built from pale malted rye, yellow corn, caramel malted rye, and chocolate malted rye, unfiltered and full of character. Where most ryes lean into sharp cereal spice, this one goes somewhere richer and more layered. Notes of fruit cake, cola spice, sage, and toasted rye. Full-bodied with a malty-sweet and spicy finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChattanooga BiB Fall 2020 | 100 Proof\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA single-season vintage barreled July through December 2020. This release introduced mash bill SB101 — named after the 101st barrel filled at the Experimental Distillery — a five-grain recipe featuring two varieties of drum-roasted caramel malted barley. Blended across four batches, each 10 barrels. Notes of oatmeal raisin cookie, root beer, chocolate malt, pecan pie, and sweet hay. Full-bodied and approachable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChattanooga BiB Spring 2021 | 100 Proof\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA single-season vintage barreled January through June 2021. The Spring 2021 release introduced mash bill SB078, which brings chocolate malt and sweet smoke in a way that's more delicate than it sounds — lighter in body than prior vintages, with the chocolate note riding through from front to finish. Notes of butterscotch candy, cream soda, fresh plum, and lemon curd.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Prime Barrel Upcoming Single Barrel Pick | TBD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn exclusive preview pour — the barrel we're actively considering for the Prime Barrel selection.

They make a signature solera-finished flagship, an unfiltered barrel-strength sibling, a malt-forward rye built on a category-defying recipe, and a rotating BiB vintage series that evolves with every distilling season. The range in this kit isn't a sampler — it's the full argument for why this distillery is worth a Prime Barrel pick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e1 × 1.5 oz Chattanooga Whiskey 91\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e1 × 1.5 oz Chattanooga Cask 111\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e1 × 1.5 oz Chattanooga Rye 99\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e1 × 1.5 oz Chattanooga BiB Fall 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e1 × 1.5 oz Chattanooga BiB Spring 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e1 × 1.5 oz Prime Barrel Single Barrel Preview\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e🥃 Live Virtual Tasting with Tim Piersant (Founder \u0026amp; CEO)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eJuly 22, 2026 \u003cem\u003e(date subject to change by one week based on fulfillment partner schedule — we'll announce any update)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e8 PM ET \/ 5 PM PT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eRSVP details provided after purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eJoin the conversation and share tasting notes inside \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vip.primebarrel.com\/Discord\"\u003eThe Prime Barrel Discord\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chattanooga Whiskey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45223265665206,"sku":null,"price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/2162\/1686\/files\/VirtualTastingTemplate_1_c46d0648-9c95-44d7-b886-bd29e5bc598d.png?v=1782591176","url":"https:\/\/primebarrel.com\/products\/chattanooga-whiskey-sample-set","provider":"Prime Barrel - Single-Barrel Picks Marketplace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
