Gate 11 Micro Distillery Tour and Tasting where you will tour the historic Chattanooga Choo-Choo terminal and it’s hidden micro distillery hidden within. Learn the history of Prohibition, Civil War and Chattanooga’s Renaissance; this portion of the tour includes a tasting of 4 craft spirits all distilled at Gate 11. Additionally, participants will have an hour’s tour and tasting at the Chattanooga Whiskey distillery. Chattanooga Whiskey was founded in 2011 by Chattanooga-native Tim Piersant, whose mission was to bring "Whiskey to the People". Inspired by the city’s rich distilling history, Piersant and his team challenged the laws and won the right to distill whiskey in Chattanooga for the first time in 100 years - ushering in a new era of Tennessee craft distilling. By 2015, Chattanooga Whiskey opened their first distillery in downtown Chattanooga, becoming the only standalone Experimental Distillery in the country. There the company spent two years - and 100 barrels - developing their one-of-a-kind Tennessee High Malt whiskey style. Distilled, aged and bottled in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Chattanooga Whiskey is now produced at two distilleries. The company's Experimental Distillery on Market St. serves as their hub of innovation and creativity and is home to their renowned & prolific Experimental Single Batch Series. Meanwhile, the company's Riverfront Distillery is the production home to Chattanooga Whiskey’s signature expressions, Chattanooga Whiskey 91, Cask 111 and 99 Rye, as well as their Bottled in Bond Vintage Series, Barrel Finishing Series, and the Founder's Anniversary Blend. The tour also includes an opportunity to take a short, self-guided tour of the vibrant arts scene in Chattanooga’s southside, with a walking map included.
