Chattanooga Whiskey has taken home Best Craft Producer at the American round of World Whiskies Awards and Icons of Whisky.

The awards were announced at a ceremony held at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, on February 12, 2026.

This was the second time the company has won the Best American Craft Producer in the span of four years, since winning both Best Craft Producer: America and Best Craft Producer: World in 2023, according to Chattanooga Whisky.

They say the company has released over 22 innovative whiskeys and spirits over the past 12 months.

“Winning Best Craft Producer back in 2023 was a huge honor, but we didn’t want to rest on our laurels. Over the last three years, American whiskey has raised the bar in quality and execution, and our team answered by raising our own standards at every step. Winning again in 2026 just shows our commitment to making world-class whiskey and making Chattanooga proud.”

– Grant McCracken, Founding Distiller said.

They say the company is now eligible again for World’s Best Craft Producer, to be announced next month in London, U.K.
