Where to eat it: 1 restaurant across 1 city.
Chattanooga Whiskey, founded in 2011 under the banner of bringing whiskey back to the people, opened the city's first legal distillery in more than a century and coined Tennessee High Malt, a house style built on mash bills heavy with specialty malts. The style's toasted, chocolatey depth made the Old Fashioned its natural showcase, and the drink is now the house serve across the Southside's bars, from the distillery's own counter to hotel rooftops.
Tip from the editors. Skip fruit beyond the peel; a malt-forward whiskey already brings the chocolate and toast a muddled orange would only muddy.
