Chattanooga Whiskey Micro and Main Distillery

Adaptive Reuse for Hospitality & Tourism

The Chattanooga Whiskey Company worked for several years to successfully change Prohibition-era laws outlawing whiskey production in Hamilton County. While developing a full-scale distillery in Chattanooga, the owners thought a micro distillery would maintain the positive momentum and word of mouth gained during legal battles and achieve their goal of distilling whiskey in Chattanooga. The micro distillery, located across from the historic and iconic Chattanooga Choo Choo in the city’s booming Southside district, serves as a destination where locals and tourists alike can visit and learn about the process of making whiskey, and taste – and purchase – the results.
