George Dickel 15 Year Tennessee Single Barrel
Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA
Reviewed
August 4, 2021 (edited September 27, 2021)
I’ve liked some TN whiskeys—the Jack Daniels Single Barrel Selects are staples on my shelf; and I’ve recently become a fan of the Chattanooga Whiskey line. But as a thoroughly southern fried boy from NC, the mythology of TN whiskey was still lost on me—nothing to romanticize or emotionally connect to. But I saw the light, y’all, with a store pick George Dickel 15 year that made it all make sense to me. How can you that much flavor at that low a proof—& with that eternal finish? The quintessential Dicklel note that can polarize is just perfection here. It’s smooth, perfectly sweet, and just hot enough, & I’ve never had a bottle pull me along quite so quickly for MORE. This bottle is my conversion to TN whiskey. If you have not made a decision yet, might I suggest letting Brother George Dickel lead you down that road to Damascus

I’m a huge fan of all things Cascade Hollow, but my bottle was one of the worst whiskies I’ve had. Luckily, I only bought one from this barrel and have found a couple more at varying proofs to try. Now that TN Whisky has gotten you, the regular old No.8 & No.12 are good, as well as the BIB & Barrel Select. Welcome to the club!
This is on my hot buy list. I'm a Dickel fan, the BiB is what got to me first. Nice review!
