Chattanooga Whiskey’s Persimmon Infused Bourbon: A Trailblazing Fall Treat
Chattanooga Whiskey is stirring up the autumn vibes by releasing a unique addition to their Experimental Single Batch Series — Batch 041: Persimmon Infused. This fall-inspired bourbon liqueur stands out with its use of 100% pot-distilled bourbon expertly infused with more than 140 pounds of dried persimmons, alongside a medley of other ingredients that bring the flavors of the season to life.
Innovative Flavor Profile
Stepping away from the usual pumpkin spice trend, Chattanooga Whiskey’s team, led by Founding Distiller Grant McCracken, embraced the persimmon’s distinctive flavor profile for this offering. McCracken highlights the fruit’s natural compatibility with their high malt style of bourbon, presenting a fresh take on seasonal whiskey that seeks to delight the palate with notes of maple syrup, dried apricot, cinnamon toast, and more.
Complex Craftsmanship
Each bottle of Batch 041 is crafted from a blend of five unique bourbon mash bills, each aged over three years in toasted and charred oak barrels. The infusion process is not just limited to persimmons; it also includes dates, fenugreek seeds, gentian, vanilla, cinnamon, orange peel, cardamom, and cane sugar, allowing this liqueur to present a highly complex spectrum of flavors.
A Commitment to Quality
Chattanooga Whiskey prides itself on using real whiskey and ingredients in crafting its liqueurs. According to McCracken, this approach allows for a broad range of flavors and intricate control over the final taste, resulting in a product that showcases meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to quality.
