George Dickel 8 Year Bourbon

Smooth bourbon at a great price point

Very smooth with lots of apples and a little cinnamon spice with a slight bit of heat to finish.

Spicy, toasty, dusty nose of caramel, cinnamon, orange peel, apple, greenery, peach-o’s, corn and leather nose. Sweet on the palate with vanilla, sweet corn, oak, charcoal, caramel, black pepper and charcoal. Sweet finish. Sweet and accessible. Pretty solid buy for $30.

Tried neat in the pool while @loonehead had churros. On the nares I get black pepper, vanilla, snickerdoodle cookies, candied peaches, figs On the palate it’s nice and rich and easy drinking. It’s liquid candy with notes of that big swirl lollipop 🍭, candy cherries. Extremely smooth

Average. Good enough for the price. Nothing super special. Taste of peanuts, oak, vanilla.

Aroma - sweet and fruity.. thats for damn sure. Tons of apples, pears, banana bread, bag of skittles., zebra bubblegum. Very subtle oak profile. Sweet sweet sweet. Taste - damn. That was underwhelming. Was really hoping of the taste to follow suit in a way. Here, we get more sweet and fruity notes. Still getting the apples and pears. Oak is a bit more present here. Balance alright. But lot left to be desired. Very thin, finish is short. Overall - its polarizing. Great age statement, great price. Just not a whole lot on the palate for the age.

Tried it in Nashville Tennessee April 2022

Very interesting nose of caramel and oak. Taste matches and moves into a little spice but nice balance. Some butter on the finish. Solid option.
