To quote user FAFNIR187:
"It’s not every day you can walk in and grab something with 10+ years on it off the shelf for a reasonable price, so despite not being a big Dickel fan in the past, I am intrigued. Let’s see what we have here.
Fairly mild aroma of apple, corn dust, pecan, nutmeg, ethanol, and a little of that Flintstone vitamin note but it’s very faint.
Palate opens with rich vanilla, caramel covered apple, and oak, transitioning to cinnamon, orange, and cherry in the mid palate.
Finish features barrel char, the nutmeg from the nose, and just a hint of mineral. I’m going to tell you if I got Flintstones it was going to kill it for me, but it’s more of a mineral spring note and in no way unpleasant. Finish is short, but very low in heat making this a super easy dipper. Full creamy mouthfeel an unexpected bonus."
Was pleasantly surprised, great body and mouthfeel, prominent cherry, enjoyable. Not typical of Dickel for me. Make sure the bottle you come across says "bottled in Tullahoma" on the side. If it doesn't, you'll have a different experience.
