About the product: Founder's Anniversary Blend is an annual marriage of whiskeys to commemorate Chattanooga Whiskey's anniversary. Formulated each year by their founder, this solera-style expression is blended from 3 one-of-a-kind charred oak solera barrels. Distilled in Chattanooga, TN and Lawrenceburg, IN, this combination of traditional & innovative recipes showcases the dynamic balance between multiple styles & sources of whiskey - each one symbolic of Chattanooga Whiskey's past, present, & future.

Located within our Riverfront Distillery, our Solera Room enshrines 3 unique whiskey styles - all of which utilize our version of the time-honored solera blending process. Each year to commemorate our anniversary, our Founder Tim Piersant evaluates the whiskey within each 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 mature barrels, where they will quietly marry until the following year.
