George Dickel 11 Year Bottled in Bond Tennessee Whisky (Fall 2008)

From WhiskyFest. Not sure which vintage/age statement

Nice drinker. I enjoyed the 13yr more so not spending much time reviewing

Much more drinkable than the 13 year I had prior to this. While being less complex, there is no negative overwhelming Flintstones vitamin bitterness.

Honey, apples and caramel turn to oak tobacco and leather finishing spicy cinnamon. Definitely drinks hotter than 100 proof as that finish stays in your throat for a while after the sip is gone

Wow! Pleasant surprise. Nose has strong whiffs of cherries, with a little maple syrups. It packs some heat too, which hits the palate right quick - this seems to drink hotter than its 100 proof suggests. Adjust to it and you'll find a complex, delicious mix of flavors: cordial cherries, butterscotch, caramel, cinnamon, tobacco, oak, chocolate. Thick and viscous texture too. Finish is long and satisfying, with sweet caramel toffee and brown sugar hanging out for a while. Dickel is crushing these BiB releases - they're an amazing value for fine older whiskey. Market seems to have caught on, so grab one ASAP if you see it at MSRP!

Tobacco and cake icing on the nose. Minerals and caramel on the palate. Oak and spice on the finish.

First time reviewing a bottle opened around a week ago. Enjoying neat. Nose - typical GD nose with some peanuts however this time they are sugar and honey coated! Mix that with a hint of cinnamon and light fruity flavorings. Taste - typical gd nose but not your typical gd taste. This one has some unique flavorings of a nice apple cinnamon pie with pecans, oak and ends a bit tart and dry. Fruity and full bourbon. Hard not to like some fresh tastes from GD. Overall - loved their first BIB that was full of peanuts. This is a breath of fresh air with your not so typical flavors. Great bourbon with a stellar nose
