Chattanooga, TN (April 2025) – Chattanooga Whiskey today announced their latest limited time offering, the  Founder’s 13th Anniversary Blend. Curated annually by the company’s Founder, Tim Piersant, this blend pays  homage to Chattanooga Whiskey's past, present, and future – bringing together three unique solera-finished  whiskeys. Scheduled for release at the Chattanooga Whiskey Experimental Distillery on April 11, 2025, this  commemorative blend will be available for purchase both in-store and online at Seelbachs.com in the coming  weeks. 

Chattanooga Whiskey – led by Piersant’s vision to become the best craft whiskey in Tennessee – has become well  known for its trailblazing spirit, inventive style, and prolific range of whiskey expressions. In the spring of 2012,  Chattanooga Whiskey began blending and bottling their first whiskey - “1816.” Alongside their Vote Whiskey  campaign, this whiskey helped challenge the laws and win the right to distill whiskey in Chattanooga for the first  time in 100 years. Today, Chattanooga Whiskey continues to lead the craft whiskey movement, and their  Experimental Distillery remains one of the only standalone experimental distilleries in the world - driving the  company’s commitment to experimentation and pushing the boundaries of craft whiskey.  

“Those who make it to our Founder’s Party each year know firsthand how different each solera barrel is from one  another. From the traditional essence of ‘1816’ to the high-malt heritage of ‘91’ to the expressive and ever-changing  ‘Infinity,’ each barrel provides Tim a range of options for blending.” - Grant McCracken, Founding Distiller, CPO 

“For those who’ve been following the evolution of Founder’s over the last four years, this year’s blend should offer a  more nostalgia-driven flavor profile - highlighting more traditional notes coming from our ‘1816’ solera barrel. For  that reason, I wouldn’t be surprised if this release becomes a favorite amongst our most diehard fans.” - Tim  Piersant, Founder, CEO. 

About the Blend - Whiskeys of The Past, Present, and Future 

Chattanooga Whiskey’s Riverfront Distillery is home to their one-of-a-kind Solera Room, which completed  installation shortly before the company’s 10th anniversary as a producer. Built to symbolize Chattanooga  Whiskey’s past, present, and future, this room enshrines three custom charred oak solera barrels – each of which  contain whiskeys of vastly different styles and wide-ranging origin stories.  

Each year to commemorate their anniversary, Piersant evaluates the whiskey within each solera barrel, trialing  various blends to highlight the best of each recipe. After each year's blend is complete, the distilling team refills  each tank with newly matured barrels, where they will quietly marry until the following year. This version of the  time-honored solera blending process allows the Founder’s Blend to evolve from year-to-year and give each  release its own unique flavor profile, which – due to the complex solera blending process – can never be  replicated again. 

This year’s blend is comprised of: 

• 1816 (23%): Representing the company’s storied "Past," 1816 is the smallest of the company’s three   solera barrels (625 gal) and holds their original founding recipe, originally launched in 2012. Now a relic   of the Chattanooga Whiskey story, 1816 was Chattanooga’s first whiskey since Prohibition and worked   alongside the company’s Vote Whiskey campaign to help change century-old prohibition laws for dozens   of counties across Tennessee. Aged between four and six years, this traditional high rye bourbon   contributes a classic woody, lightly spicy bourbon character to the blend. 

• Barrel 91 (58%): Signifying the company’s “Present,” the largest of the three solera barrels (4000 gal)  is filled with Chattanooga Whiskey’s signature Tennessee High Malt recipe: “Barrel 91.” Born from the   91st barrel created at their Experimental Distillery, this recipe took over two years of experimentation  to develop, and is built on a foundation of three specialty roasted and toasted malted grains. Pulling  

 richness and depth from every step of the process, this solera component brings a classic high malt  depth and complexity to the blend. 

• Infinity Barrel (19%): Symbolizing the company’s “Future,” the ornately designed Infinity solera  barrel (1645 gal) is filled with an innovative blend of malt and rye malt whiskeys from both their   Experimental and Riverfront Distilleries. This year’s blend welcomes five new mash bills, including a   delicately flavored malt whiskey made with Italian Adriatic Coastal Barley malt and an alternate  version of their flagship 99 Rye recipe made with a heavily toasted rye malt. 

Founder’s Anniversary Blend is a recurring release and changes every year to highlight each solera’s  ever-evolving impact to the final blend. This year’s release boasts notes of red rope licorice, grilled peaches,  brown sugar, cherry cola, and toasted marshmallow. 

Availability: Founder’s 13th Anniversary Blend will be available at the Chattanooga Whiskey Experimental  Distillery on April 11, 2025, and on shelves in select states (CO, GA, FL, IL, IN, KY, LA, SC, TN, TX, WI) in the  following weeks at $59.99 for a 750ml bottle. Limited quantities will also be available online at Seelbachs.com for shipping to select states in May.
