Chattanooga Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Michigan Maple Syrup Casks

Every sip is autumn dawn. Chattanooga Whiskey’s Michigan Maple Syrup Cask Finished bourbon steps into deep flavor territory with its newest Barrel Finishing Series release. Aged over four years, this Tennessee High Malt bourbon spent one full year finishing in late-harvest maple syrup barrels sourced from Michigan. The finishing casks bring kettle-cooked, small-batch character—with maple candy richness, toasted grain, and soft oak rounding the edges. The blend of two mash bills—Barrel 91 with its caramel and honey malts, and Barrel 76 with long-toasted aromatic malts—plays off the maple syrup finish so that sweetness doesn’t overpower but enhances. Poured neat, you’ll experience pancakes dusted with maple, warm sweet potato richness, malted milk ball nostalgia, and oak warmth that lingers long after.

Nose: Warm maple candy, golden pancakes, toasted grain aroma, subtle oak spice.

Palate: Rich maple syrup swirls with malt, sweet potato, honey malt, and caramel hints.

Finish: Soft oak linger, gentle sweetness, malted grain echo—long and comforting.

Pair this bourbon with hot pancakes or waffles drizzled in maple syrup to mirror its sweetness. For savory contrast, smoked ham or roasted pork with maple glaze heightens its meaty and sweet interplay. Creamy desserts like baked sweet potato pie or custard bring out its rich malt and maple tones.
