George Dickel Barrel Select

floral, sweet - not my style

Nose is a little off tonight, so partially from memory as this is the bottom of the bottle. Sweet fruit and honey. Nutty. Background banana. Peanut butter and chocolate on the palate. Reminiscent of a candy from childhood, but I can't place it - Reese's Pieces maybe. Also fruit, wood, and smoke. Spice and slight tannic bitterness (not unpleasant) on the finish. Very tasty. More here than I can get tonight. Exceptional for the price.

Someday I'll regret typing this. My Mother's Family is from TN. Try as I might, I seem not to enjoy Tennessee Whiskey as much as traditional Bourbon. I can't definitively say it's the charcoal filtering, but my thoughts are consistent and I would love to be predisposed to love it. Light Gold/amber color. Aroma of corn. I've never said it, but it's what I smell. Honey sweetness and some oak. Later after tasting I thought of Captain Crunch cereal. Quite oily. Flavor continues with corn, spearmint, honey, touch of banana at one moment. Don't add water. More corn front and center.
