Tennessee-based whiskey brand Chattanooga has announced the latest release in their award-winning Experimental Single Batch Series: Batch 039: Harvest Bourbon

Created from a batch of only six barrels, Harvest Bourbon was aged for more than five years in three different types of oak barrels. Each of these barrel types were seasoned, charred, and toasted to various lengths and levels, specificially selected to complement the characteristics of the underlying alt-grain mash bill.

Bottled at 115 proof, the producers have described the expression as having notes of snickerdoodle cookie, fruit cake, oatmeal crème pie, horchata and rice pudding on the palate.

Commenting on the release, founding distiller Grant McCracken said: “Classically speaking, bourbon whiskey is a spirit made from four major grains: corn, rye, wheat, and barley. While these grains provide the familiar bourbon-y flavors that we all know and love, our distillers wanted to explore a completely different side of bourbon – made from a completely new 'palette' of flavor grains.

“Our distilling team's approach to making whiskey has always been grain-to-glass. This simply means that every step of the process builds off of the one that came before it. Thus, when it came to aging this experimental whiskey, we chose a variety of casks that would complement the floral and toasty flavors of raw and malted rice, the creamy notes of malted oats, and the sweet and spicy impact of malted triticale. The result is a one-of-a-kind alt-bourbon, built from the ground up.”

Batch 039: Harvest Bourbon will be available at the Chattanooga Whiskey Experimental Distillery at a price of $69.99 for a 750ml bottle, and available online for shipping to select states.
