George Dickel No. 12

Smooth. Caramel and chocolate

I couldn't get a great sense of the nose, as I was drinking this straight from a jigger whilst moving, but essentially ethanol, cedar, cherry, and a hint of BBQ sauce. Candied peanuts and a little chili powder on the palate, some more wood, and the tiniest hint of smoke. There is also some note in there which pairs extremely well with black pepper. This is my go-to cheap whiskey to pair with potato soup.

With Joe Biden, the most popular president to ever exist, in the fairest election ever held in the history of time, we as Americans, all decided that, yes, we want things to suck more than before. So now we got what we all wanted and we are so happy. The bourbon world feels like its all adequately priced, now that our amazing politicians have put us all trillions more into debt so they can be more wealthy for our best interests. This means, happily, that prices on everything have gone up up up up and scarcity is widespread and yeah you gotta hand it to bourbon for being so ahead of its time. There are however a few pesky relics of the past still standing their ground and being fair and reasonable and just and keeping the value high and the cost low. The chief amongst these stalwart threats to our democracy is George Dickel. No doubt leading the charge on this radical viewpoint, it stubbornly remains the very best value in the bourbon world, especially with this offering. Its damn good too. So until we stamp out these last few terrorists you should get it while you can. Because America is building back better baby. Not better for us, just for the few at the top. And we are all apparently on board with that. Brandon For Life.

Well rounded whiskey. I like the vanilla notes that balance out the barrel spice. Strong apple fruit on palate. Oak barrel is very astringent leading to extra dry finish.
