Chattanooga Experimental Batch 027: Moscatel + Sauternes Barrel Finished

This dual-finished Experimental Batch brings together the complementary flavors of two aromatic European dessert wines: Portuguese Moscatel and French Sauternes. Made from a high malt mash bill that includes Venetian (Italy) grown pilsner malt, the Experimental bourbon was aged for 2+ years prior to being transferred into separate finishing casks. After a long finish of nearly 2 years, the whiskey was reunited for a blend that highlights the sweet, grassy & floral qualities of both whiskey & wine(s).
