INTRODUCING EXPERIMENTAL BATCH 041: PERSIMMON INFUSED!

For this release, we decided to “opt out” of the pumpkin spice craze and instead focus on one of the more under-rated fall and winter fruits: persimmons! Notoriously difficult to grow, this fruit has one of the most unique flavor profiles of any tree fruit. With notes of mango, apricot, caramel, and pumpkin, our distillers quickly discovered that persimmons are an ideal partner to great whiskey.

Made from a blend of 5 high malt bourbon mash bills, this fall-inspired bourbon liqueur was infused with over 140 pounds of dried persimmons, which contribute a decadent, caramelized mango and apricot-like character to the liqueur’s flavor profile.

Prior to the 8-ingredient infusion of dried fruit and aromatic spices, each barrel was aged for more than 3 years in toasted and charred oak. Crafted from only five barrels, this unique blend of bourbons includes multiple varieties of smoked, roasted, and toasted malt, which naturally complement the character imparted by the all-natural infusion.

Made with 100% real whiskey and real ingredients, this pot-distilled liqueur is the perfect cool-weather sipper – and an apéritif fit for the Gods!

Experimental Batch 041: Persimmon Infused will be available exclusively at the Chattanooga Whiskey Experimental Distillery on Thursday, November 21, for $54.99.

Limited quantities will also be available on Seelbachs.com in the coming weeks, please contact [email protected] for more information.
