Sensory Description:

In the glass, this bourbon reveals a rich amber hue and offers a welcoming nose of caramel corn, vanilla bean, toasted pecans, and warm baking spices. Hints of red apple and dried stone fruit round out the aromatic profile. On the palate, flavors of butterscotch, toffee, and honeyed grain mingle with spiced oak and subtle black pepper. The texture is smooth but structured, leading to a long, warming finish with echoes of cocoa, tobacco, and charred wood.

Distiller’s Background:

Crafted at the historic Cascade Hollow Distillery in Tullahoma, George Dickel Bourbon is produced using time-honored Tennessee whiskey-making techniques, including the Lincoln County Process, where the spirit is mellowed through sugar maple charcoal. Under the leadership of head distiller Nicole Austin, the brand has expanded its portfolio with aged bourbon offerings that highlight the distillery's deep barrel inventory and focus on quality. This 8-year expression is a curated selection of barrels that showcase the sweeter, oak-forward elements of Dickel’s high-corn mash bill.

Serving Suggestions:

Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to bring forward its layered sweetness and spice. Serve at approximately 65–70°F to fully appreciate its aroma and depth. It’s also excellent over a large cube of ice, or in a classic bourbon cocktail like an Old Fashioned or Boulevardier. Pair with smoked brisket, pecan pie, or sharp cheddar to highlight its bold and balanced flavor profile.
