George Dickel TABASCO Brand Barrel Finish

Very interesting indeed. You get a nice peppery nose from the glass, which is great as i was expecting pure vinegar smell. The taste has very little actual burn, but you get a nice sweetness at the front which smoothly fades away leaving a spicy note you can sit an enjoy. This is a great choice to pick up and enjoy with friends.

I’ve always been a fan of George Dickle and think it’s one of the best Tennessee whiskeys on the market and well above Jack Daniels, so it’s safe to say I’m a little biased in reviewing this. However, I was skeptical at first glance, but my curiosity got the best of me and I cracked open the bottle to find a secret gem in the world of flavored and unique finished whiskeys. And this is definitely unique. Not a fan of hot sauce but if all hot sauce tasted like this I’d be drinking it through a straw. The best way I can describe the taste is if you watered down Tabasco with a few shots of good ol George Dickle, it does however have a slightly sweet note to it I can’t quite place but it’s very subtle. Absolutely love this whiskey and cannot wait to add more to my personal stock

Odd candy sweetness, with low profile Tabasco pepper spice, which builds, as one sips. Light-to-medium mouth, and a lingering sweet-candy-spice-whiskey finish. Later, at night, I was getting a Tabasco puree burn, in my esophagus. Very strange item, but not terrible. RJT
