Tastes

Bright citrus and smoke. Can tell there’s more there than just peat smoke but doesn’t get too overpowering. Not salty or oceany like a Scotch, but doesn’t lean hard into the traditional bourbon flavors. Definitely ill stock this bottle. An interesting sipper for sure.

Nose to me isn’t anything to write home about, but I am currently sipping this from a rocks glass and not a glen. However the palate is where this really shines. Dark chocolate, coffee, hints of vanilla, nuttiness (but not peanuts, more pecans). Slightly brightens on finish with some fruit, leading into the tannic oak and bitter chocolate and coffee notes.. This is definitely a buy, will pick up another from the store when I go back.

Still definitely Dickel on the second pour of the bottle, but decidedly less so. This taste “amber”. I know that’s color but thats how it tastes, golden. Honey, syrup, light fruit. Barely cooked pancakes. Less flintstones than straight Dickel after it opened up a bit. Ain’t bad for the price, but took a hunt to find it on shelves around me.. Wouldn’t call it a must stock but its definitely a try. Especially for all the Dickel haters. Could make you change your mind. A great way to ease into that Tennessee flavor. Or just buy anything from Chattanooga or Roaming Man from Sugarlands for a better Tennessee Whiskey.

It’s Dickel. Not much else to say about it really. People will either love it or hate it. But its definitely Dickel.

Bright flavors.Lemon peel and a little cream. Any darker notes that are present are on the back burner for me. Not bad. Not at all what i was expecting. A pleasant surprise that is a good summer sipper. Tastes refreshing.

Vanilla, barrel char. Banana runts, peanut shells, flintstones vitamins. Short finish. You either like dickel or hate it. I like it.

Every dark baking note is present. Brown sugar. Deep vanilla. Warm toasted oak. Reminds me of a pecan pie without the pecans in the topping, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting over the top.. Absolutely delicious..

I like this bottle more now than the first few initial pours. Shiny vanilla, warm oak. Hint of raisins. Herbal spice. Slightly tannic. A decent pour. Took a while to open up or my palette to adjust to it.

All the best of bourbon mixed with all the best of Islay. I’m sure no one thought the meeting of Kentucky and Scotland could come out tasting so well but I’m glad it did. White fruit, brown sugar, vanilla, cherry, mixed with smoke, salt water, ocean air, and seaweed.

Sweet nose. Opens on palette with dark brown sugar, vanilla, and oak. Transforms into leather, tobacco, and spice.
