Chattanooga Whiskey
History: Inspired by the city's rich distilling history, Chattanooga Whiskey was founded in 2011 with a mission to bring back "Whiskey to the People." Due to Prohibition whiskey production stopped in Chattanooga in 1920. And the post prohibition act only allowed 3 counties in Tennessee to make whiskey. In 2009, a law was passed to allow 41 more counties to make whiskey.  Chattanooga Whiskey, eventually became the first distillery in Chattanooga in over a century.

EP 44: A Night with Jack Daniels

In this episode join MikeD and TI as they dive into a Tennessee whiskey classic, Jack Daniels!
 
Jack Daniels Old No 7:
With only the finest grains, pristine water from the Cave Spring Hollow,and mellowed drop-by-drop through sugar maple charcoal. We proudly age in new, handcrafted white oak barrels, the same way we’ve been doing for more than 150 years.
And our Tennessee Whiskey doesn’t follow a calendar. It’s only ready when our tasters say it is. We judge it by the way it looks. By its aroma. And of course, by the way it tastes. It’s how Jack Daniel himself did it over a century ago. And how we still do it today.
Palate: Balance of sweet and oaky
 
Jack Daniels Bonded:
Tennessee- Jack Daniel's "Bonded" Tennessee Whiskey is Bottled-in-Bond, aged in select barrels for added depth and character. At 100 proof, the flavor delivers layered notes of caramel, rich oak and spice giving way to the pleasantly lingering finish.
 
Jack Daniels Triple Mash:
Tennessee- Jack Daniel's TRIPLE MASH Blended Straight Whiskey is a blend of Bonded American Malt, Rye and Tennessee Whiskey at 100 proof. It delivers notes of honey, malt and soft oak leading to a long lasting well rounded finish.
