Inspired by their city's rich distilling history, Chattanooga Whiskey was founded in 2011 with a mission to bring back "Whiskey to the People." Following the success of their community-powered Vote Whiskey campaign, they eventually became the first distillery in Chattanooga in over a century. In 2015, they began the patient process of crafting their malt-forward style of straight bourbon whiskey they call Tennessee High Malt. After 8 years in the making, their Tennessee High Malt was released in August 2019, marking a new era in their company history with a whiskey that celebrates the future as much as the history that got them here today.
