Appearance:
Clear, deep copper color. The bottle has George Dickel in raised lettering at the top of the bottle. Blue label with gold and white embossed lettering. It has a synthetic cap.
Nose:
The aroma is light to medium. It has a lovely butterscotch smell with hints of caramel, honey, corn and oak.
Palate:
It’s warm with a medium to long finish with some complexity. The oak plays a larger role in the flavors than the cereal grains. Think spices like peppercorn, not sweetness. Hints of toasted bread with a touch of honey. The finish is medium to long with oak tannins and hints of clove oil.
Finish:
Comments:
This is a smooth, well aged whiskey. The price point is fantastic for the age and bottled in bond category. It can be drank straight or in cocktails, making it a great buy.
