George Dickel Barrel Select

A perfectly lovely down the middle bourbon, unexceptional but for a slight mineral undertone.

I really enjoyed this especially for $45. N- sweet wood P-not as heavy as Elijah Craig toasted. Which I just tasted. Caramel. Oak. Fruit Finish is consistent and strong. Left my tongue tingling. This is def a staple in my cabinet

Neat: a lot of heat and pepper Rocks: heat, pepper, smoke A barrel selection from Total Wine

On the sweet side of things but has a little heat in the middle with a oily finish on the long side.

So on the nose you’re literally thinking “Dickel 12.” And you aren’t wrong. This isn’t much different than the dickel 12 and that’s not a knock at all! The dickel 12 is amazing but you’re left kinda hoping the nose would be wildly different being barrel select etc.... But this differs on the palate and finish by A LOT. The finish is medium but the taste is all cacao and dark chocolate with loads of sweet corn in there. Dickel 12 doesn’t have this level of chocolate on the finish. This is excellent is easily worth the money and tracking it down online.
