US distillery Chattanooga Whiskey, from Tennessee, has released Moldovan Ice Wine Cask Finished, the eighth chapter of its Barrel Finishing Series. It is a Tennessee High Malt, a blend of five malt whiskeys and one bourbon, aged at least four years, with more than a year of finishing in casks that held sweet ice wine from a Moldovan winery — one of the oldest and most awarded in the country, set in the hills above the Black Sea.
The whiskey is bottled at 95 proof (42.5% ABV) and costs $59.99 for a 750 ml bottle. It was available from 13 August 2026 at the Chattanooga experimental distillery and in a handful of US states, plus limited quantities online. The aroma profile includes notes of French toast, wildflower honey, toasted oak, cream soda and candied ginger.
The choice of Moldovan casks confirms the international reputation of ice wines from the Republic of Moldova, increasingly used by distilleries around the world for special finishes.
