Description
George Dickel Tennessee whiskey is a mature, civilized, and affordable option for mixing. Made with a secret mash bill of barley, rye, and corn, it is blended with limestone water from Cascade Hollow, “mellowed” through sugar maple charcoal, double distilled, and aged in oak. A signature process is chill filtering the spirit before charcoal mellowing, creating a smoothness. The distillery defies American whiskey tradition by spelling whisky without the “e.”
Tasting Notes
Nose: Green apples, honey, cinnamon, caramel and corn dance out of the glass. Light notes of orchard fruit, sawdust, char and an almost herbal spice make an appearance but don’t make a fuss. It’s a clean crisp nose that has a decent amount of depth to it and I’m enjoying it quite a bit.
Taste: More honey, apples and corn along with some apricots and a bit of rye like spice keeping them company. Appearing in fits and spurts are notes of caramel, wood and a deeper pine/mint hybrid that is rather intriguing.
Finish: Medium with notes of caramel, honey, spice and a touch of wood and mint.
