Chattanooga, TN (February 2025) – Chattanooga Whiskey today announced the newest addition to their lineup:  Rye Single Barrels, which are the uncut, unfiltered expression of the company's malt-forward approach to rye.  

Inspired by one of the distillery's first experimental batches of whiskey, this version of their rare and flavorful  style was made from the same four-grain, three-malt mash bill as their award-winning 99 Rye – which includes an abundance of slow-toasted and drum-roasted rye malt. This expression joins their two more established single  barrel expressions – the Experimental Single Barrel Series and the Bourbon Single Barrel Series – which have  become some of the most sought after single barrels in the industry, principally known for their uniquely  innovative approach to the tradition. 

"Each one of our Single Barrel Series is meant to explore a different side of the craft. The Experimental Single Barrel  Series explores whiskey types, mash bills, and barrel types; the Bourbon Single Barrel Series highlights both mash  bills and barrel types; and now, the Rye Single Barrel Series showcases our Tennessee Rye Malt mash bill, aged within  different barrel types." - Grant McCracken, Chief Product Officer 

Crafted with three types of malted rye – pale malted rye, caramel malted rye, and chocolate malted rye – the blend of slow-toasted and drum-roasted specialty malts accounts for over 60% of the mash bill and is highlighted  through every step of the process, including barrel aging. Like their signature “Barrel 91” expression, this aging  process utilizes two unique barrel types, including a custom toast profile that was designed to complement the  four-grain, three-malt mash bill. 

"Since our 99 Rye is a blend of two barrel types, the goal of this series is to peel them apart and to highlight their  dramatically different flavor and aroma qualities. While our classic #4 char barrel highlights the spicy-sweet spirit  character of the spirit, our custom toasted and charred barrels meanwhile express a one-of-a-kind, toasty-rich barrel  character. Ask me which one I like more today, and I'll give you a different answer tomorrow.” - Grant McCracken,  Chief Product Officer 

Originally developed in 2015, Chattanooga Whiskey's signature “99 Rye” recipe was first introduced as  Experimental Batch 007: Tennessee Rye Malt. After scaling the recipe to the company’s Riverfront Distillery in  2017, the whiskey was quickly awarded a spot in Whisky Advocate's coveted Top 20 list of 2020, and has since  become one of the industry's most well-known examples of the rye malt style. Today, these highly sought after  single barrels provide an uncut and unfiltered glimpse into this modern classic expression. 

Chattanooga Whiskey Rye Single Barrel Series will be available in select states (FL, GA, IL, IN, LA, SC, TN, TX,  and WI) at a suggested retail price of $64.99 for a 750ml bottle. Limited quantities will also be available online for  shipping to select states on Seelbachs.com.
