Chattanooga Whiskey
Pick
up a bottle of Chattanooga Whiskey for the whiskey lover in your life
this holiday season. The brand has a unique back story to match its
one-of-a-kind whiskeys; this year the team succeeded in reversing state
law prohibiting distilling in Chattanooga and opened the city’s first
post-Prohibition distillery, the Tennessee Stillhouse. Their inaugural
line of 1816 whiskeys comes in two varieties – each with a mash bill of
75 percent corn, 21 percent rye and four percent melted barley:
· 1816 Cask –
an intense, robust 113.16 proof whiskey, boasting vanilla and dark
toffee notes up front, cinnamon nots in the background and finishing
with a warm, lingering spice.
· 1816 Reserve –
a 90-proof American Whiskey, aged 6.5 years in charred American white
oak barrels and featuring notes of vanilla, caramel allspice and anise,
lending the whiskey an overall light, spicy character.
Chattanooga
Whiskey’s story and whiskey line has garnered buzz across the southeast
this year, with features in Southern Living, The Bitter Southerner and
more. The whiskeys are available at select liquor stores in Georgia,
South Carolina and Tennessee, and can also be ordered online on Ezras.com.

Root to Leaf
By Steven Satterfield
Chef of the award-winning Atlanta restaurant Miller Union, Steven Satterfield — dubbed the “Vegetable Shaman” by the New York Times’ Sam
Sifton — has enchanted diners with his vegetable dishes, capturing the
essence of fresh produce through a simple, elegant cooking style.
Satterfield embodies an authentic approach to farmstead-inspired
cooking, incorporating seasonal fresh produce into everyday cuisine. His
trademark is simple food and in his creative hands, he continually
updates the region’s legendary dishes—easy yet sublime fare that can be
made in the home kitchen. This approach is conveyed in Root to Leaf, a
cookbook that celebrates the world of fresh produce. Organized by
seasons, and with a decidedly Southern flair, Satterfield's collection
of mouthwatering recipes makes the most of available produce from local
markets, foraging and the home garden. A must-have for the home cook,
this beautifully designed cookbook, with its stunning color photographs,
elevates the bounty of the fruit and vegetable kingdom as never before.
