Gate Eleven Distillery Tasting 5/14/21

8/3/2021

0 Comments

 

     Located in the historic Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel, Gate Eleven Distillery can almost be missed. The door is on the back side of the lobby, just to the right of an indoor cycling gym. The tasting room opens at 11AM which is right when we got there. Their expressions ranged from whiskey to rum and vodka. There was even an absinthe to try. 
     I didn't get any pics of the bottles for this one either. That must have been my tasting theme for this trip. I found some pics to post anyway.
