LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

A true classic of the Tennessee style. It offers a level of 'mellow' that is hard to find in other American whiskies of this proof.

The Library Note

George Dickel famously insisted that his whisky was as good as any Scotch, hence the spelling without the 'e'. His secret was filtering the spirit only in the winter, believing the cold temperatures made the charcoal more effective. Today, they chill their spirit to 40°F before filtration to honor his legacy.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Rich corn bread, maple sugar, and a hint of dried orange peel.

THE PALATE

Full-bodied and oily with notes of vanilla bean, toasted pecans, and a subtle charcoal sootiness.

THE FINISH

Long and sweet with a warming oak spice.

Neat or with a splash of limestone water to bring out the delicate nutty undertones.
