RT Lodge Whiskey Series
Vol. II: Tennessee Whiskey
Join us at RT Lodge on Saturday, October 18 for an exclusive afternoon of whiskey exploration.
Any Volunteers to taste the best of Tennessee Whiskey? RT Lodge is kicking off fall with an exclusive whiskey experience designed to celebrate our great state. Our bar team will guide guests through a tasting of several highly allocated Tennessee whiskeys, including special bottles from George, Jack, and a few friends. After the tasting, guests will enjoy a full lunch on the back patio featuring Chef Trevor’s famous fried chicken with all the fixin’s, before heading to our new Meeting House for an exclusive conversation and tasting with Jeff Arnette, former master distiller at Jack Daniels and current owner of Company Distilling.
what to expect
Welcome Cocktail: We’ll begin our journey in East Tennessee with a welcome cocktail featuring Chattanooga Whiskey’s Founder's 13th Anniversary Blend.
A Taste of Tennessee: Led by our resident whiskey enthusiasts, Henry Holmes and Randi Savage, enjoy a curated lineup that highlights Middle Tennessee’s rich craftsmanship and character, including stops at Uncle Nearest, Jack Daniel’s, and George Dickel.
Uncle Nearest Master’s Blend
As Tennessee’s most in-the-news distillery, Uncle Nearest’s latest exclusive bottling may just be their last, so if you want to experience it, best act fast! Usually available only at the distillery, this exceptional blend honors Nearest Green, the “Godfather of Tennessee Whiskey.”George Dickel 17 Year
Showcasing Tennessee whiskey at its finest, this extra-aged allocation offers remarkable smoothness and complexity, distilled and matured in Cascade Hollow with over 17 years of patience and craftsmanship.Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select
A tribute to Jack’s biggest fan, Frank Sinatra, the Sinatra Select is aged in special barrels with deep grooves to expose the whiskey to extra layers of toasted oak. So smooth it’ll have you crooning!
Lunch on the Patio: After our first tasting, you’ll enjoy lunch featuring Chef Trevor’s famous fried chicken with all the fixin’s. Catch College Game Day and highlights on a large screen TV on the patio and games on screen in the living rooms throughout the Lodge.
Company Distilling Tasting with Jeff Arnett: Guests will experience a post-lunch tasting with Jeff Arnett in our newest facility, the Meeting House. Jeff will talk and taste with guests through the Company Distilling line-up, featuring their flagship Maple Bourbon as well as their Apple Finished Whiskey and Cherry Finished Rye.
Farewell Pour: Finally, we’re excited to raise a glass of Jack Daniel’s 12 Year, a highly allocated offering that Jeff himself helped bring to life!
Don't let the day end there!
Rooms are currently available at the Lodge for that evening, and guests booking a room will enjoy exclusive access to special pricing on select allocated whiskeys from the Lodge collection (and yes, even Kentucky will come out to play!).
You can unwind and enjoy these exceptional spirits while streaming all the biggest games of the day, including the ultimate SEC rivalry: UT vs. Alabama. It’s the perfect way to cap off an unforgettable day of whiskey, camaraderie, and college football.
