George Dickel 13 Year Bottled in Bond Tennessee Whisky (Fall 2005)

Lots of corn, but a nice finish.

Sweet corn. Butter. Peanut. It's alright but I expected more.

Well I have been passing by this bottle at my liquor store quite a few times just thinking it was probably just like Dickel 12, but with a blue label and BIB. WELL I was very surprised to find out this is aged 13yrs. Rich and deep flavors with dominate older oak, this one tastes like it has the extra age. Nice medium mouthfeel and just very satisfying to sip neat. Of course this has the trademark vitamin taste, but I think it tastes less like Flintstones, and just a general vitamin taste here. I find this vitamin taste more in the background verses #12 and its fine with me. I bought this bottle for $40 and its well worth it.

Nose of baking spices and char... Taste, pretty much the same, with the addition of black pepper. Fair burn the whole way through. Not the worst, or the best BIB, but for the price, I expected more...

The nose on this one immediately reminded me of jelly bellies popcorn flavored jellybeans! So it has an artificial buttered popcorn thing going on (which I like) as well as raisins. The palate has sweet corn, caramel, cola and oak. It has a nice thicker coating mouthfeel The finish is medium in length with lingering sweet corn and cola. I’m really enjoying this. The corny-ness takes center-stage throughout. It’s very nice and unique.

Sweet corn, maple syrup and oak on the nose. More sweet corn and oak on the grainy palate with some mineral notes. The medium finish reprises the sweet corn with a hint of heat. A splash of water brought out the Dickel children's vitamins on the nose and palate.
