We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on May 26, 2012.

20 Days Later...

Update #1 · May 9, 2012 · comment
Well, it's been 20 days since we launched our Kickstarter campaign to help bring whiskey back to Chattanooga, and to say that those 20 days have been eventful is a bit of an understatement.  
Over 3,000 bottles of 1816 Reserve and 1816 Cask have been sold!


 
 
The first official cocktail, “The Dixie Smash”, makes it onto Easy Bistro and Bars menu!
(Don’t let the tastiness fool you, Joe drank four and lost count)

   


The Chattanooga Whiskey Facebook page has come on strong, doubling from 6,000 to over 12,000!

 


The Chattanooga Whiskey family has come on strong too, with Joe’s first baby being delivered just 7 days ago!

 

BUT-

With all this greatness to celebrate, we still CANNOT celebrate one thing:  Chattanooga Whiskey ACTUALLY being made IN Chattanooga!  And we will NEVER be able to celebrate that without your support!!  

That’s right, WE NEED YOU!
 
SO…with just 16 days left, we are starting the 1 BUCK = 1 VOTE drive! 

Ask yourself this question…
  When I drive through Chattanooga, would I stop by the Chattanooga Whiskey Distillery, enjoy a glass with the owners, look at my name on the wall, and buy a bottle? 
Yes.
 
We don’t care about the money, we care about you!

(Okay so we kind of care about the money)
