It's made following the brand's standard corn-heavy recipe, with a mash bill of 84% corn, 8% rye and 8% malted barley, and charcoal mellowed after distillation. Your best bet of finding a limited edition 375ml bottle will be at at the Cascade Hollow Distillery Visitor's Center in Tullahoma, Tenn.

Tasting Notes

"After 17 years of ageing in Tennessee, one expects quite a bit of oak from George Dickel's Distillery Reserve. It delivers with mellow notes of oak and deep, mildly smoky notes of charred oak. It's a very woody whiskey with very subdued spice, making for a straightforward and enjoyably gentle dram. "
