Chattanooga Whiskey Straight Rye Malt Whiskey Review
This offering from one of the country’s better craft distilleries features a mash bill that is 99 percent rye — including three different maltings: pale, caramel, and chocolate — 60 percent of which is malted. Bottled at 99 proof, the result is surprisingly earthy and agricultural, with notes of freshly-roasted coffee and a spicy, green pepper note.
