Chattanooga, TN (September 2023) – Chattanooga Whiskey today announced a new annual limited-edition  release: The Vault Series. Selected once a year and bottled in 375ml bottles, the Vault Series features ultra-limited  whiskeys that are one-of-a-kind artifacts from Chattanooga Whiskey's history.  

Selected annually by their distilling team, this collection of offshoot experiments, alternate concepts, and rare  single barrels is culled from their barrelhouse vault. These archived versions of bygone whiskeys are expressions  of both nostalgia and discovery, each one offering a glimpse into the distilling team’s innovation and creative  process. The series also gives fans a unique opportunity to rediscover favorite recipes and batches from year’s  past.  

“Over the past 6 years, Chattanooga Whiskey has crafted over 100 unique whiskey concepts, and while many  of these recipes are never repeated, The Vault Series is a chance for our distilling team to turn back time and revisit  some of their favorites - this time through a different creative lens.” - Grant McCracken, Founding Distiller 

This year’s inaugural Vault Series releases include a trio of rare, 6-year-old single barrels, which showcase  a few of Chattanooga Whiskey’s earliest, most cherished High Malt recipes, including Batch 001, Batch 007,  and Barrel 91.  

“For the inaugural release of our Vault Series, we thought it'd be fun to dig out a few of our oldest recipes and barrels - from both of our distilleries. The first & second barrels both pay homage to our classic "Barrel 91" recipe  and highlight the flavor differences between our pot vs. column distillation processes. The third single barrel is  arguably our team's first "whoops" moment - where we mistakenly combined High Malt Bourbon with Rye Malt  Whiskey into the same barrel. Thankfully though, some mistakes can be serendipitous...and this one produced one of the most unique whiskeys our team has ever tasted.” – Tiana Saul, Head Distiller  

Bottled at barrel proof in 375ml bottles, The Vault Series will be available exclusively at the Chattanooga Whiskey  Experimental Distillery for $46.99 per bottle while supplies last.
