Tastes

Standard Dickel high corn mashbill. Sweet on the nose. Sweet taste, not as much of the Dickel mineral. Definitely more oak than Dickel is used to, but not too oaky and I feel it balances it quite well. Overall this Tennessee whiskey is great and much better than I expected. It is pricey, but it is truly one of a kind. Easily one of my go to drinks right now. Also, I think these are extra barrels are from right before they shut down production. Dickel was over produced in the 1990's so they quit production very late in the 90's. Reopened in 2003. Caused a shortage of #8 in 2007. Don't be surprised if they "find more barrels" and we see some even older limited releases in the coming years.
