Drinking this neat, bottle pour. This hits hard with cherry up front with a nice butter cream. If I can be honest, I’m really loving butter cream notes lately so that was exciting to find here. Automatically bumps it up a notch. There is also that typical weirdness I’ve started to notice in Dickel. My cousin gave me a good tasting note for it: chewable vitamins... of the cherry variety. Finish has that classic Tennessee smoothness with leather, charcoal and oak flavors. I tasted a 9yr SP before this one. Suffice to say, this is still my favorite Dickel. I think this would be a good bottle to pull out to change it up for those who may need a break from the 100+ proof bourbon heat. Cheers!
