![]() I knew because of my dad, I knew a Glen Miller song. Well, Chattanooga, I knew very little about Chattanooga until you're whiskey. So let's get things rolling with my interview with Tim Pearson of Chattanooga Whiskey. And why don't we just get into this great conversation with Tim. And Tim had just given me a guided tour, and then we sat down in their conference room. But for this interview, we're actually at the other distillery, the Riverfront Distillery, which is unfortunately close to the public, but that's where they do all of their full scale production. You can hear the stories of Chattanooga whiskey history, and you can visit their Dun warehouse underneath the building where all of their experiments are resting. It's one where you can see their pots still in action. And if you haven't been, it's a great tour. Now in Chattanooga, there's actually two different distilleries that are both run by Chattanooga whiskey, and the first is the one that you can visit downtown, which is the experimental distillery. We'll talk about some of the risky bridges he chose to burn along the way, and Tim is going to share his brand new release, which is the fall 2017 edition of Chattanooga Whiskey's bottled in Bond vintage series. We'll also get into the challenges Tim faced in starting a distillery. So we're going to go through a little bit of the distiller's history and find out more about how Tim and his head distiller Grant McCracken ended up basing the company's flagship whiskey around malted barley. But in the case of Chattanooga, they're malted barley is the predominant secondary grain. And if you're new to this concept of high malt or high rye or wheated bourbons, we're still basically talking about a 51% corn mash bill. You can hear those conversations and more with my guest, Tim Pearson, who's the CEO and founder of Chattanooga Whiskey. And today we're going to talk about high malt bourbon hiding whiskey in a coffin, and how to motivate whiskey drinkers to get laws changed.
