Five Whiskeys Not Named Jack, Jim or Jameson
1816 Reserve – Chattanooga Whiskey – $32
Your guess is as good as ours to where this award winning whiskey is made. Were not even sure it’s technically bourbon. Do we care? No we don’t. It’s made from a mash of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley, then aged 6 1/2 years in oak. This spirit is a bit sweeter with a hints of spices, butterscotch and caramel with a slightly smoky edge that is all the difference. The refreshing bottle design, topped with a cork summons the likes of Doc Holliday. We do have a disclaimer: We hear the founder is a complete jackass suitable for a Bravo reality show, if that matters to you and it just might.
There you have it, five quality bourbons or whiskeys not named Jack, Jim or Jameson. Be a little more unique at least in the house if not the bar.
