Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BBT - Chattanooga Whiskey Tim Piersant
Q: Can you describe the process and significance of the 91st barrel and how it became the flagship?
The final four recipes were blind-tasted from 100 options; the 91st barrel emerged as the winner due to its corn sweetness and deep maltiness, signaling a transition from 1816 to a new flagship that bridged past, present, and future.
BBT - Chattanooga Whiskey Tim Piersant
Q: What led you to abandon a traditional Tennessee whiskey path in favor of a Tennessee High Malt approach?
The shift was rooted in a purposeful search for higher quality and a unique flavor profile, leveraging roasted and toasted specialty malts and a broader grain mix to create a deeper, darker, more complex whiskey distinct from Jack Daniel's style.
BBT - Chattanooga Whiskey Tim Piersant
Q: How did you approach breaking Chattanooga out of a dry-town history and legal barriers to start distilling again?
Tim explains that it started with acknowledging it was illegal, then a slow, patient campaign with city and county officials, using storytelling to galvanize the community and gain support for legal change, which allowed Chattanooga Whiskey 1816 to enter the market.
