Chattanooga Whiskey Barrel Finishing Series: Tawny Port Cask Finish

Bourbon — Tennessee, USA

Reviewed May 9, 2021 (edited July 4, 2021)
3.75
3.75 out of 5 stars
Neat. Neck pour. Really enjoying what Chattanooga has done in such a short time. Had a sample of this a few weeks and was impressed enough to grab a bottle. The port on the nose is quite vibrant and brings this nice sweet jam on top of everything. And I dig Chattanooga’s base. Toasted barrels blended with charred barrels and high malt. Very peppery and savory, almost like a grill rub that’s a blend of salt, pepper, and various spices. So many layers of fruits on this - beyond the port, I am getting apples and orange. Even a charred pineapple. It’s a strange nose as I think about it and break it down. More characteristics I associate with a a scotch than a bourbon in many ways. Only 95 proof but it has this nice creamy mouth feel. Pepper, cinnamon, clove with brown sugar initially. Those fruits come in mid palate and that port influence takes more center stage. Finish is short. Peppery again, a bit of that charred pineapple. This is just a solid, finished daily sipper. Not too many of those out there. In terms of port finished, I’d drink this over Angel’s Envy or Bowman.

    I agree the chocolate malts remind me a lot of scotch, you almost have to remind yourself, this is bourbon you're drinking.

    @BeppeCovfefe Their commitment to experimentation is really cool. I need to visit their experimental location someday.

    This comes from a really interesting combination of high malts, dark chocolate components among them, now that Chattanooga has gone through their "MGP startup phase" it looks like they are going to be putting out some interesting juice.
