This creative feat is made possible through the inclusion of a special, rare ingredient: floor malted corn. Hand crafted by their friends at Valley Malt, the corn was malted in a time honored, labor-intensive process of hand turning the germinating grain in the open air, on an open tile floor. This process – traditionally reserved for barley – develops complex and unique flavors in the malted grain that modern methods cannot reproduce. Aged for greater than 2 years, the mash bill also contains a blend of roasted and caramel malts to create unparalleled complexity in the finished bourbon.

Distillery Information
The Chattanooga Whiskey Company is a producer of bourbon whiskey and “Tennessee High Malt” bourbon whiskey, located in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The company was founded by Tim Piersant and Joe Ledbetter. The 1816 brand was launched in April 2012,[1] and the company simultaneously announced its intention to help change local distilling laws. The launch met with some initial criticism, primarily due to where the product was made (contract manufactured at MGP/LDI of Indiana), but Hamilton County laws prohibited the manufacture of “intoxicating liquors” at the time.[4] Local public awareness eventually became a catalyst in galvanizing support to change Prohibition-era distilling laws. In March 2015, the company opened the first legal distillery in Chattanooga since Prohibition. The first experimental whiskey, “Batch 001: Tennessee High Malt”, was released in August 2017.
