LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

One of the best value-for-money ryes on the market. The charcoal mellowing gives it a 'Tennessee' soul with a 'Midwest' punch.

The Library Note

George Dickel Rye is unique because it uses a 95% rye mash bill (distilled by MGP) but is finished using the 'Lincoln County Process.' By filtering the spirit through sugar maple charcoal before it enters the barrel, Dickel tames the aggressive spice of the rye into something elegant and approachable.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Fresh dill, menthol, and a heavy dose of baking spices.

THE PALATE

Creamy and rich with maple syrup sweetness balanced by a sharp, peppery rye bite.

THE FINISH

Short and clean with a cooling minty trail.
