Chattanooga Whiskey finishes a Tennessee whiskey with maple-wood vinyl records

American distillery Chattanooga Whiskey has released Bad Chattanoogan, its first Tennessee whiskey, using an unusual finishing method: 30 “records” cut from solid sugar maple, toasted for 24 hours and laser-engraved with two original songs about the city of Chattanooga, were placed in the barrels for 30 days.

The songs were written by creative director Rich Abercrombie, and the distillery says it is the first whiskey finished this way. The base spirit is a straight Tennessee whiskey made from three high-malt mash bills, filtered through maple charcoal and aged more than four years, bottled at 100 proof.

The range comes in two versions sold separately, Side A and Side B, each with its own song, and every bottle carries a small playable record on its hangtag. The price is $64.99, with limited distribution in Tennessee.

Chattanooga Whiskey releases a whiskey finished in Moldovan ice wine casks

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.
