George Dickel Bottled in Bond 13 Year Old
George Dickel · George Dickel (Cascade Hollow)
At 13 years, this bottled-in-bond release punches well above its price point. The extra time in barrel has given it a seriousness and depth that rewards slow sipping. One of the most quietly compelling values in American whiskey.
Nose
Rich caramel and toasted pecan greet you immediately, followed by a darker undercurrent of leather and dried cherry. Beneath that, a faint corn sweetness and charred oak anchor the profile.
Palate
Viscous and full-bodied with butterscotch giving way to brown spices and a resinous oak structure. There is a pleasing bitterness from the extended aging, balanced by a thread of vanilla and rye spice.
Finish
Long and warming, with charred oak, cocoa, and a lingering maple sweetness that slowly fades to dry tobacco.
