George Dickel No. 8

Strong and pungent on the nose. Slightly syrupy with a lot of fire in the mouth which continues on down the throat. Slightly bitter aftertaste.

I can’t give a bad review, but I can’t rave about it either. The more I taste the more I like it. For some reason I keep tasting peanut butter on the back of the tongue. Definitely a spicy finish with pepper and ethanol. Overall it’s pretty smooth and mellow - an obvious 80 proof. I like it much more than JD.

A little spice but not strong. Classic Dickel.

The charred oak is what stands out to me with this one, along with mellow toffee, molasses, and vanilla. I'm new to Bourbon but this is one that I am going to return to.

I'd rather go to China and lick door knobs.
