Whiskey Review: George Dickel Rye

That smoothness they’re going for comes through on the palate, both at the start and finish. It has some fruity notes — I detect some cherry, which I’m surprised about for a rye. In fact, it’s not quite as reminiscent of the black peppercorn taste as some other ryes I’ve tried: it’s almost a little bourbon-like. Odd, right? But it works. Finish: The Dickel’s sweet aroma doesn’t stay around for the taste, however. It finishes savory, a bit fiery on the way down. It makes the tip of my tongue burn, just a little, in the way that other ryes don’t. This isn’t entirely unpleasant. Conclusion The Dickel Rye is also phenomenally well-priced, coming in at around $23 for 750 ml. I’d definitely keep a bottle of this behind my bar, and at easy reach even with that. FINAL SCORE: 83/100 [graphiq id=”4A39qEQmyBn” title=”George Dickel Rye Whisky Overview ” width=”700″ height=”503″ url=”https://w.graphiq.com/w/4A39qEQmyBn” link=”https://whiskey.underthelabel.com/l/1680/George-Dickel-Rye-Whisky” link_text=”George Dickel Rye Whisky Overview | UnderTheLabel”]
