That said, we were treated with a personal tour by a fabulous guide, Catherine. My daughter bought me a tour of the Chattanooga Whiskey Experimental Distillery for my birthday and we visited on February 19th while COVID restrictions were still in place. I recommend it if you have any sort of interest in the history, making, and tasting of whiskey or alcohol in general. We are very glad we decided to stop by and do this tour, and we consider it one of the best experiences we had while visiting Chattanooga. I was surprised by the range of aromas and flavors in the flight, and I found myself really enjoying most of the whiskeys even though I never considered myself much of a liquor person. Kate explained the whiskeys to us, and gave a helpful tutorial on how to get the most out of the tasting experience. The tasting was predictably the highlight of the whole thing. The whole thing was interesting and I have a greater respect for the craft of distilling after the tour. It is a small facility, but Britt did a great job of explaining the process, and she patiently answered our novice questions. We then had the chance to tour the areas where experimental batches are distilled and kept in barrels. Our tour guide, Britt, gave a thorough rundown of the interesting history of whiskey in Chattanooga. We have very little whiskey experience but we’re excited to learn about the craft, and this experience did not disappoint. Tours are about $15 per person, and they come with a tasting flight. Note that the tour sizes are small right now (6 people) and walk ins are accepted, but you can reserve by phone. My wife and I attended an afternoon tour on a whim.
