Chattanooga Whiskey announced the latest release in its Bottled in Bond Vintage Series: Fall 2020. Barreled from July 2020 through December 2020, this seasonally-inspired blend  was crafted to showcase the fall and winter flavors imparted by multiple “roasted” bourbon mash bills.

As with previous vintages, Fall 2020 was produced exclusively at Chattanooga Whiskey’s Riverfront Distillery as an ongoing collaborative effort between the entire distilling team to create a new vintage for each 6-month  distilling “season.” 

“Every six months, our team of distillers comes together to decide which recipes to make that season,” Grant McCracken, Founding Distiller, said. “Sometimes  they choose to make more of our wheated bourbon recipe. Other times, they decide to make more of our roasted  recipe. Occasionally, they’ll decide to scale up a promising new mash bill from our Experimental Distillery.”

Unlike previous vintages, the Fall 2020 blend includes a new mash bill to the BIB series, known as “SB101.” Named after the 101st barrel filled at the company’s Experimental Distillery, this 5-grain mash bill contains two varieties of drum-roasted caramel malted barley. This recipe – along with others in the blend – amplifies chocolate and toffee flavors that complement the cooler weather of the fall and winter seasons. More information on Chattanooga Whiskey’s mash bills can be found at https://chattanoogawhiskey.com/mashbills/. 

“Like nearly every one of our recipes, ‘Single Barrel 101’ began its life as an Experimental Single Barrel,” McCracken added. “After its  initial release in 2020, we quickly scaled the recipe to our Riverfront Distillery just a month later – it was that good. Four years later, ‘SB101’ shows off why we picked it in the first place – perfectly complementing the other mash bills  and adding multiple layers of caramel richness to the blend.” 

Made in four batches of 10 barrels each, this limited release offers fall and winter notes of oatmeal raisin cookie,  root beer, chocolate malt, pecan pie, and sweet hay. 

Chattanooga Whiskey Bottled in Bond Vintage Series: Fall 2020 will be available at the Chattanooga Whiskey  Experimental Distillery beginning October 10th, 2024, and on shelves in select states (AL, CO, FL, GA, IL, IN, KY,  LA, OH, SC, TN, TX, and WI) in the following weeks at $52.99 for a 750ml bottle. Limited quantities will also be  available online at Seelbachs.com for shipping to select states in October.
