Chattanooga 111 Tennessee High Malt Straight Bourbon Whiskey *APPEARANCE: Love the bottle and labelling. The liquid it contains is a rich Mahogany color. *NOSE: A lot of Heat, but let it sit for a few minutes and come back. You are then met with Corn Dust, Barn Wood, the Leathery Note I get from most Malt Heavy Whiskey, Orange Peel, and Brown Sugar. The longer it sits, the better it gets. *NEAT: Non-Chill filtering results in a Thick and Coating Mouthfeel. Starts off Dark with Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans, Dark Chocolate Toffee, and Malted Milk Balls. These are joined by Freshly Made Sweet Tea, a Hint of Orange Peel, Honeysuckle, Black Pepper, and slightly bitter Oak Tannins. A nice building heat in the chest reminds you that it's 111 Proof. The Espresso Bean is the dominant flavor on the coating aftertaste. *SPLASH: Amps up the Brown Sugar on the nose. Sweetens the Palate as well with some more traditional notes of Caramel or Vanilla. Helps tame the Tannins a bit as well. *VERDICT: If a Malt Forward Bourbon like Woodford fathered a child with Westland Single Malt the result would probably be something like this. Those Dark, Leathery, Burnt Coffee/Cocoa notes paired with some Corn Sweetness is a sum that is really greater than its parts. I had to venture across state lines into SC to procure this and wish now I'd picked up their regular 91 Proof offering as well. I love seeing these "Mid-Major" (to use a College Basketball analogy) Distilleries like Chattanooga, Westland, Great Wagon Road, Etc. find their footing and thrive. I hope they are able to branch out into NC soon, as I'm looking forward to trying more of their line.
