Chattanooga Cabernet Casks 95 Proof Straight Malt Whiskey

For the third finish in the series, the distillers sought out barrels from one of America’s most iconic wineries – Silver Oak Cellars. Sourced from the Alexander Valley region of Sonoma’s North Coast, these Cabernet Sauvignon casks highlight the California winemaker’s new world approach – which marries the red fruit & savory notes from the varietal with the caramel & spice character of toasted American oak.

Made with 5 single malt mash bills, using Silver Oak cellars cabernet sauvignon barrels.

To highlight and enhance the qualities of the finishing barrels, the distillers selected a range of 5 single malt mash bills, each containing a variety of toasted, roasted & caramel malts – including a custom-toasted barley malt developed with Riverbend Malt House in Asheville, NC.

Aged for greater than 4 years, including over 18 months in the Cabernet barrels, the result showcases a dynamic balance between bold flavors of malt, fruit & toasted oak – highlighting the best of both whiskey & wine.

Tasting Notes: Mixed berry, toasted oak, thyme & molasses, with a long, malty finish.
