Prichard's Tennessee whiskey is unique, with an express exception to the state law requiring anything labeled as "Tennessee Whiskey" to use the Lincoln County method of filtwring new make through charcoal before aging. Prichard's was one of three Tennessee distilleries (with Jack Daniels and Dickel) operating when the law was enacted, and the only one not using charcoal filtering. Unstead, it is aged in casks with a deep alligator char, and the resuting taste is somewhere between old-style Dickel (pre-Cascade Hollow rebranding) and Jack Daniels. Don't expect a typical Tennessee whiskey.
Nose shows peppery spice, some leather and a background of vanilla. Palate begins sweet, then overtaken by spice with cigarbox notes on the roof of the mouth. Mouthfeel is slightly thin, with some lack of rickness. Finish: spice slowly fades, leaving a faint oaky memory.
