48.1% abv / 96.2 proof Open 2 months Nose - Rich oak, toasted marshmallow, toffee, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, light ethanol. Palate - Much sweeter than the nose, caramel, maple syrup, gingerbread with hint of vanilla frosting, and dense oak spice. Finish is medium-long, light sweetness first then followed by oak tannins, baking spices, and gingerbread. Ethanol is barely noticeable throughout the palate/finish. I was excited for this new offering, but I think it is a slight miss. The proof and age are very similar to the recent Bottled-in-Bonds, and ultimately the nose and palate are as well. I was expecting a bit more nuance with this one, but I bet in a blind tasting I would not find many differences between the various high-end George Dickel products. I personally would recommend buying the $40 Bottled-in-Bond or $50 Hand Selected Barrel over this. Instead, I wish Dickel would've released a lower age cask strength around this price point. I think it would fit well in the current market.
