Chattanooga Triple Islay Cask Finished Blend of High Malt Whiskeys

Barrel Finishing Series: Triple Islay Cask Finished

Our limited edition Barrel Finishing Series celebrates the union of Tennessee High Malt into a variety of classic finishing casks. Crafted from a combination of unique whiskey mash bills - all containing at least 25% specialty malted grains - each batch is custom-made to complement the flavor and aroma characteristics of the finishing barrel.

For our sixth barrel finished release, our distillers returned to one of the most famous whisky-making regions in the world: Islay, Scotland. Renowned for their rich, earthy, and smoky character, whiskies from this region utilize barley malt that is dried and smoked with peat moss native to the island - a regional tradition dating back centuries. Finished in 3 types of scotch whisky casks sourced from 3 different distilleries, each barrel type contributes its own unique, peaty character to the blend.

To highlight and enhance the qualities of these multiple finishing barrels, our distillers brought together a custom blend of 3 different peated whiskeys, made with 3 unique peated malts, sourced from 3 UK malthouses. Aged for over 5 years, this full-throttled approach to finished whiskey gathers smoky flavor from each & every step of the process - expressing the multilayered contributions of each ingredient, mash bill, and finishing barrel.
