In this Episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast presented by Liquor Barn, Matt & Mark spend some time hanging out with Tim Piersant, CEO & Founder, of Chattanooga Whiskey.

The guys talk with Tim about his background and previous career working for his dad’s business and how he eventually ended up in the whiskey business, the creation of the Chattanooga Whiskey brand and the legal battle that they had to fight to get distilling legalized again in Chattanooga, and the incredible success that Chattanooga Whiskey has had as a privately owned, craft distillery and how they plan to maintain that level of success into the future.

They also taste and review Chattanooga Whiskey 91 Bourbon, Chattanooga Whiskey Cask 111 Bourbon, and their Chattanooga Whiskey Founder’s 12th Anniversary Blend.

This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief takes a ride to Northern, Virginia to visit Rebecca Harris from Catoctin Creek Distilling Company.

Becky takes the big man through the history of Catoctin Creek and their Virginia Rye Whiskies. After years of being a chemical engineer she, along with her husband, started this craft distillery in Purcellville, Virginia.

Their passion is rye whiskey done their way. All her products begin with the finest local and organic grains to create the cleanest spirit possible. At the heart of the distillery is a pair of pot stills, where Becky insists on cooking the distillate for a full nine hours, more than twice as long as most other distilleries, to create the unique and award-winning flavors in her distillate.

They start the show with the Roundstone Rye Distiller’s Edition. Only one in every ten barrels gets selected to be in the Roundstone Rye "92 Proof" whisky. This 100% rye mash-bill is something special.

They then move on to the cask proof version of our ever-popular Roundstone Rye. Released at approximately 58% ABV (it varies depending on the individual barrels), this is seriously strong whisky! Delicious, dark, complex and ridiculously smooth for the proof

To start the second half Becky and Big Chief sip on Rabble Rouser Bottled in Bond Rye Whiskey. "Where Roundstone Rye is sort of restrained and elegant," says Scott Harris, founder of the distillery, "Rabble Rouser is more unruly and vivacious.".

To finish the show Becky treats the big man Catoctin Creek Hot Honey Rye. Just as you're savoring the whisky, the peppers come in with a surprising and delightful bit of heat. Smooth and sweet, with a ZING! This is a fun one!

This ride on The Whiskey Trip shows Big Chief isn’t afraid to make a correction from previous shows.

Cheers!

In this Episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast presented by Liquor Barn, The Bourbon Life Skeleton Crew (Matt, Mark, & Chad) spend some time hanging out in The Bourbon Life Studios enjoying some great pours and great conversation.

The guys talk about several new releases that have just come out and discuss whether the pricing on new releases has gotten a little out of hand, the increase in the number of whiskies hitting the market with unique mashbills and whether that is a trend that will continue, and Bourbon and food pairings, including a heated debate on Bourbon and BBQ being served together.

They also taste and review the brand new Woodford Reserve Toasted Bourbon, an Old Potrero Malt Rye Single Barrel, and a Lucky Seven 14-Year Old Bourbon Whiskey Consensus Single Barrel.
