George Dickel No. 12

One of my adopted hometown's claims to fame is really good popcorn mixes. Buttered with cheese, cheese with caramel (the best, especially if you get more cheese than caramel corn), and what I'm now just gonna call the George Dickel. The nose here is buttery popcorn and caramel corn together, with a pinch of spice. The palate keeps the buttery texture and puts the caramel popcorn flavor forward, with baking spice and black pepper at the end. Smooth, easy to drink, and a good value.

5/10

Best example of Tennessee Whisky. Corn sugar, peppermint, bananas tones. Very smooth. Tennessee whisky at it's finest. This is the American whisky I use to as a starting point to judge other whisky. After 40 years of drinking this whisky the flavor and aroma is in my genetic makeup. It's my baseline to judge other American Whiskeys.
