George Dickel 12 YR
Distillery: George Dickel Distillery. Tullahoma, TN Age: 12 YR Proof: 90 Nose: Corn is prominent and sweet with notes of vanilla, candied citrus and butterscotch fudge coming through. Honey candy, simple syrup, dried orchard fruit, a touch of wood and rich, but not cloying, sweetness backfill the aroma; making it simply stunning to sniff. Palate: Cinnamon moves in with corn, caramel and citrus in a foursome of flavor. Vanilla, wood and a touch of char and leather move through with ease and that rich sweetness is back along with some notes of grain, dried fruit and an ambiguous spice. Color: Orangish Caramel Notes: NO 12 is a significant step up from No 8. It's a fantastic iteration of the smooth Tennessee character. |
