George Dickel 8 Year Old Bourbon Whisky is a highly acclaimed and exceptional spirit, celebrated for offering a significant age statement and remarkable complexity at an incredible value. This award-winning bourbon, famously ranked #5 in Whisky Advocate's Top 100 of 2021, stands as a proud expression from the historic Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. in Tullahoma, Tennessee.
Crafted from a high-corn mash bill of 84% corn, 8% rye, and 8% malted barley, this bourbon undergoes a patient maturation of at least eight full years in charred oak barrels. This extended aging process, significantly longer than many contemporary bourbons, allows a beautiful depth of flavor to develop, creating a profile that is both invitingly sweet and sophisticatedly balanced.
This 90-proof bourbon delivers a delightful journey on the palate. It opens with sweet initial notes of rich vanilla, which lead into bright, vibrant hints of cherry and orange. The experience is then masterfully rounded out by a finish of nutty almond toffee and classic, mature oak character. With a collection of top accolades, including a Double Gold from the New York World Wine & Spirits Competition, this is a must-try bourbon for any American whiskey enthusiast seeking exceptional quality and age.
Whisky Advocate: 93 Points
Nicole Austin n hasn't rested on her laurels since George Dickel Bott led inBondwon Whisky of the Year in 2019, continuing to create great and affordable whiskeys at Cascade Hollow Distillery. This is notably a bourbon rather than a Tennessee whiskey, though the criteria for the two styles mostly overlap. The nose is nutt y and well-spiced, with caramel corn, toasted pecans, cinnamon graham crackers, cherry tart, and butterscotch candies. There is a friendliness to the palate that makes it ideal for outdoor imbibing, with notes of spearmint, mixed berries, nougat, and honey. Big spice on the finish makes this a memorable sip.
