Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Dickel Bourbon Small Batch 8 Yr wraps you in a warm, caramel embrace, laced with toasted oak and a hint of dried apricot that lingers on the palate. Crafted in the United States and bottled at 45.00% ABV, this bourbon balances rich vanilla and baking spice notes with a subtle smokiness that makes it an ideal companion for barbecue ribs or sharp aged cheddar. Each glass reveals layers of butterscotch and charred wood, inviting you to slow down and savor its complexity alongside your favorite hearty fare.

Producer Information: George Dickel

George Dickel traces its roots to Cascade Hollow in Tullahoma, Tennessee, where German immigrant George A. Dickel began producing whisky in the 1870s, inspired by the cool climate and limestone-filtered water of the region. The distillery is distinguished by its commitment to chill charcoal mellowing, a process performed at lower temperatures that imparts a smooth character unique among Tennessee whiskies. Emphasizing traditional craftsmanship and local sourcing from the rolling hills of Coffee County, George Dickel has built a reputation for classic American whisky styles while also offering limited releases such as Bottled in Bond expressions and rye whiskies that highlight their mastery of grain selection and aging techniques specific to southern Tennessee’s microclimate.
