Tasting Notes

Nose: A distinct minerality, reminiscent of wet flint, immediately emerges, characteristic of George Dickel. This is quickly followed by sweet caramel, toasted oak, and a subtle interplay of dried orchard fruits like apple and pear. A faint hint of roasted nuts and a touch of maple syrup rounds out the inviting bouquet.

Palate: The palate opens with a smooth, medium body, delivering rich butterscotch and vanilla bean. The signature Dickel 'mineral' note is present but well-integrated, providing structure rather than dominance. Sweet corn and a whisper of cinnamon and allspice unfold, leading to a gentle nuttiness. The proof is well-managed, offering warmth without harshness.

Finish: A clean, medium-length finish that gently fades with notes of lingering caramel, dry oak, and a pleasant white pepper spice. The mineral character makes a final, subtle appearance, leaving a refreshing and slightly sweet aftertaste that invites another sip.

About the Distillery

George Dickel, founded by its namesake in 1870, is a venerable Tennessee Whiskey distillery known for its meticulous crafting process. Located in Tullahoma, Tennessee, Dickel distinguishes itself through its charcoal mellowing process (the Lincoln County Process) and by chilling its whiskey before filtration, believing this emulates the 'cold season' ideal for whiskey production. Despite being a Tennessee Whiskey, its founder preferred to spell 'whisky' without the 'e' to denote its Scottish character.
