Took a short trip to Chattanooga and just had to stop by and do a tour. Javon was our tour guide along with Ethan and... they were both super informative and made the tour really fun and interesting. After the tour was the tasting and our bartenders Jaime & Kyle were great to talk to and answered all of our questions. The whiskey, delicious! Had to pick up a bottle for home. Will definitely be back, thanks for a great experience!read more

I had a fantastic time with my family for a tour of the distillery! It was reasonably priced, thorough, and exciting.... I'd highly recommend anyone to visit! Molly was our tour guide and she was very down to Earth and knowledgeable about all things whiskey. After the tour, she even answered our questions about things to do in the area since we're visiting from out of state. Her kindness was greatly appreciated! Caleb was our bartender and he explained each whiskey sampling in detail. You could tell he really enjoys what he does and he is a great representation of the company. Thank you both for making our time here so worth while!read more

My girlfriend and I took the tour/tasting last night and our guide, Ethan, was phenomenal. Very informative and... friendly. Every question we had, he was able to answer in detail. Our bartender was Peyton, who was just as friendly and talkative. Her knowledge of the whiskey was very detailed and the conversation flowed freely. After the tour, we ended up splurging at the gift shop on a few bottles, some shirts and other items. Trinity rang us up and was more than helpful. All in all, we were made to feel very at home over the course of the night. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you again for an amazing time.read more

I had a great experience at Chattanooga Whiskey. I did the tour and tasting. Haley was an excellent tour guide. She... was informative and very patient with all of my questions :) What a great history. Sam prepared our flights and walked us through the process. He too, took his time explaining the flight and answering questions. I loved the 91 and the 111 and purchased the 111. Great stuff! Cant wait for the Rye to get restocked!read more

We had an amazing time on our tour of the experimental distillery. Chattanooga has been our favorite for quite some... time. Ethan was a great tour guide and provided awesome facts about the history and process. It was great to be immersed in the environment. After the tour, Caleb and Trinity had our flights ready to go and we had a wonderful tasting. Everyone took great care of us from the time we checked in through our cash out experience so we could take a piece of Chattanooga home with us. Literally, we got a charred stave! Can’t wait to hang it, it’s awesome.read more

Awesome small batch and experimental whiskeys. The rye is sneaky good. Fun tour for a small group of guys and great... bachelor party activity! Our tour guide Laura was super friendly and amazingly knowledgeable. This distillery has an intriguing backstory for such a new spot.. take the tour to find out and it ends with a tasting!

I was in Chattanooga doing some mountain biking and had heard about this distillery and its high quality whiskey. I've... only toured the Jack Daniel's distillery other than this one. I had completely different expectations for this than for Jack Daniels. The Chattanooga Whiskey distillery is much smaller and it feels much less touristy. And honestly, I loved it. I've never had bad whiskey from them, and that's unusual for a new and small distillery. They are doing some really interesting things and it works great. Brit was our tour guide, and she was awesome. She really knew the history of the company and the whiskey and she knew the process and what sets Chattanooga Whiskey apart. She did an amazing job! I highly recommend scheduling a tour and picking up a bottle of their whiskey. You won't be disappointed.read more

OVERALL WONDERFUL! Parker gave us a GREAT tour. Very informative, fun and interesting! Britt was our wonderful... bartender. She was a wealth of knowledge about the different varieties and also a pleasure to talk with! Strongly recommend doing this tour! *I didn't comment on the whiskey because I myself am not a whiskey drinker. I was the nice wife that scheduled the tour for my whiskey loving husband whom got the benefit of drinking both flights and informed me they were very tasty. He also bought three bottles before we left because he liked it so much.read more

We took a tour with PARKER who was the sweetest! I know a lot more about whiskey now because of Parker! He provided exceptional customer service! We enjoyed ourselves! We will definitely be back! The two girls in the front(didn’t catch there names) were also great too! We got whiskey,macaroons, bandanas, shot glasses,and even the special syrup! I look forward to visiting again!read more

Four of us went for the tour and were fortunate to get Parker who led us through the history of the area, the company... and then shared the process of whiskey making. He was patient with all our questions and made the trip well worth while. At the end of the tour is the tasting, where Parker passed us to Caleb, who gave us a description of each variety of whiskey. Thank you guys for a fun experience. I highly recommend this experience if you find your way to Chattanooga. Which I will add is very much worthwhile too.read more

I'll definitely return so I can try more of their whiskey experiments... Hopefully the apple brandy finished bourbon will be ready by then.read more

I was visiting Chattanooga and I’m a huge whiskey fan! This is the perfect spot to take a tour, learn the history of... whiskey, how it’s made, and some Chattanooga history. Our guide Kaityln was so great! She was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. At the end we all received flights of a very generous pour of their different whiskey‘s and a whiskey Manhattan. There were five tastings and I think three were experimental. Their brewers and company have great talent. I have been to many brewery’s and distillery’s in the country and this was one of my favorite. It’s a must if you love whiskey and a good time!read more

"every Hour on the hour" a tour is given here at Chattanooga Whiskey. Seems like a lot of people know this as the tour... group doubled moments before it started. To be safe I would order a ticket on the phone or get there about 20 min early. For $13 you get 4 drams of whiskey and 2 cocktails. I think I am being overly critical by only giving 4 stars but I would have liked an explanation about water vs ice vs neat. Taking a straw I added a little water to my offerings. The complexities of the whiskey were then able to shine. The tour is not overly long and you get ample time to drink a good amount of Alcohol. Attended by my wife, a non whiskey loving friend, and my 2 year old daughter we all enjoyed. The only rule with children is that if they get rowdy remove yourself from the group so the tour is not interrupted. While the information is interesting there is noting for a child or teenager to do other than sip water and kick rocks while you talk about the caramel notes present it a young but complex Tenn whiskey.read more

The tour covers the history of the young company, how its founders made distilleries in Chattanooga legal and how whiskey is made. They show you their barrel room and the tour ends with a whiskey flight. Sarah was our tour guide. She was knowledge and friendly. We were fortunate that our group was small so we were able to ask many questions.read more

Loved the tour and tasting. The tour was $13 per person but you got 10% discount off of any purchase at Chattanooga... Whiskey and the cafe next door. You are led through a short tour that takes about a 1/2 an hour and includes a walk through their experimental still area. You are then led down a flight of stairs to the basement where you are shown the barrels resting and aging. Finally you are presented with a tasting flight that includes several of their whiskies and a couple of mixed drinks showcasing syrups they also sell. This would not be wheelchair friendly as you have to take some stairs to get to the basement to see the barrels but you could skip that part and it would still be a fine tour. The people were all very friendly and the tour guide was knowledgeable. This is a stop on the Tennessee Whiskey Tour so take your log book to get it punched. Parking is about a block away in a pay parking lot, which was $2 for an hour, and the parking lot takes credit/debit cards. I enjoyed the 111 and my wife preferred the 91 - so we bought a bottle of each to enjoy with friends.read more

The first time went we had a great time. We took a tour, we did the tasting and we walked out with several bottles of... Whisky, a sticker and a t-shirt. We could not wait to get back. Our next trip was highly disappointing. We found on the website that the shop turned into a bar at 8pm. We decided that we would stop by, do a tasting and decided what bottles were coming home with us. This never happened. We were rudely told that just because the door says 8 it’s actually 8:30 before we could come in. We left for a while and came back. We were then told that they were now at capacity. We tired to explain what happened and that we just wanted to do a quick tasting to purchase some whiskey. We were then rudely told “what do you want us to do. Saturday night is our busy night.” Obviously this company is not interested in our money so we will move on. Just wish I could get the money back for the shirt. I guess I was looking for a new rag.read more

My husband and I were in Chattanooga for our anniversary weekend. We were looking for something to do that was in doors... since the weather was awful. After seeing so many rave reviews, we decided to try out the distillery and we are SO GLAD we did!! Corey was our tour guide and did an incredible job. At first, i thought it was going to be a very scripted and rehearsed explanation of the distillery, but even when asked several in depth questions, Corey knew the answers and explained everything perfectly. His sense of humor and knowledge made the whole experience great. I also figured the tasting would be a splash of whiskey in a small glass and they'd call it a day, but i was pleasantly surprised by the flight we received at the end of the tour. You are given 4 different whiskeys & 2 mini whiskey cocktails to try. For the $12 price tag of the tour, id say that was more than a decent tasting! Lastly, Corey recommended a restaurant for us to try for dinner, Main Street Meats. I am so glad we chose to go! It was hands down the best meal we've ever had. Thank you Corey, and the entire Chattanooga Whiskey staff for a fantastic last day on our trip!!read more
