Hi [[ contact.first_name | capitalize | default: "Fellow whiskey drinker" ]],
Four releases just landed — the Chattanooga anniversary blend leads, but all four deserve a look before you close this email.
Chattanooga Whiskey Founder's 14th Anniversary Blend Fourteen years since Chattanooga became the first legal whiskey distillery in the city in over a century. The Founder's blend marks that history with a multi-grain mash release the founders selected themselves — rich dried fruit and dark caramel on the nose, toasted grain and baking spice on a palate with real mid-century
density, a warm finish with a faint chocolate note at the close. Anniversary releases from distilleries that earned their reputation sell through fast. This one already did once.
KO Distilling Signature Series 10-Year Hazmat Straight Bourbon — Virginia Ten years from a Virginia distillery at hazmat proof. KO's Signature Series selects barrels specifically for extended aging potential, and a decade under the hazmat threshold produces the kind of concentrated dark caramel and oak density that requires both time and barrel selection getting it right
simultaneously.
Pursuit United Twice Toasted Bourbon Double toasting the staves before charring produces a wood influence that standard barrel preparation doesn't replicate — the toasting drawing out caramelized wood sugars that the char then locks in, contributing a specific sweetness and texture to the mid-palate that single-process cooperage doesn't deliver.
Catoctin Creek Rabble Rouser 7-Year BiB Straight Rye — Virginia Seven years on rye under the BiB standard at 100 proof — Catoctin Creek's most serious age statement applied to Virginia-made rye whiskey. The BiB designation guarantees the single distillery, single season foundation; the seven years guarantees the grain spice has had time to organize itself into something worth the
designation.
All four available now.
Cheers, De Wine Spot Team
