Been hearing a lot of good things about Chattanooga Whiskey so had to see if the buzz was worth it. Tried this one neat in glencarin from a fresh cracked bottle.
Nose - Really good nose, was like opening a bottle of Fall. Strong note of honey and toffee, followed by vanilla and brown sugar, little bit of oak. Has a very sweet profile.
Palate - really well balanced, still pick up the honey, toffee, caramel, little bit of maple on front end, moves quick to cinnamon, ginger, and pepper, pleasant amount of spiciness.
Finish - that spiciness hangs there for a minute, dries out a little bit, pick up some leather, just a hint of mint, little bit of the honey brown sugar comes back. Has a medium finish.
For 2 years old this is firing on all cylinders. Has a really nice richness to it, and the flavor profile is delicious. This doesn’t drink like a 2 year old bourbon. The buzz is worth it. Chattanooga is on to something, if they release older age statements gotta believe those will be flying off the shelves. I would highly recommend as a bourbon to constantly have on the shelf.

@Bourbon_Obsessed_Lexington Dang, that's a bargain! I've been looking for any Chattanooga for a while and finally saw this one for a bit over $45. I think I might be pulling the trigger too.
@Cornmuse that is scary high praise! I’m going to have to break down and try this one, bottle vs bar is the only question. At $40 bottle seems logical.
Agreed - this is a stone cold bargain. I'll take this over Stagg Jr every day.
