I’ve been enjoying the #12 and really enjoying the new BiB. A local store had a 9yr pick so here it is...
The nose has sweet vanilla, caramel, and corn.
The palate has sweet corn, some caramel and vanilla. On later sips I also get some cola.
Finish is a little burn and brings back some of the memorable corn and sweet notes of a medium length.
I like this one. I guess I’m officially a Dickel fan! This one is a slight variation of their #12 and BiB. The flavors are not as pronounced on this one, but offers different ones. So I guess it’s a nicer, un-offensive (to some) version of the other two (which I also really like).

Just grabbed a local 9 year store pick, and plan on cracking it tonight. I'm a Dickel fan, and can't understand the hate it gets. I love the #12 & their BiB, as well as their contracted out distillates (12yr Bib & Tucker, Bardstown Phifer Pavitt Reserve, etc). Cheers, brother!
@halijr1 Believe me I'm on the lookout for the BIB, my first bottle is almost gone! hehe cheers!
@BDanner thanks! We need to stick together. I don’t understand the negativity towards Dickel.
@BeppeCovfefe I would also look out for their new Bottled in Bond, it’s 13 or so years old.
Unfortunatley these are a full 10 dollars more where I live, never the less it's 9 year barrel select Dickel, so I will be joining you for this treat.
Welcome to Cascade Hollow! Great to have you.
