Produced by Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. in Tullahoma, Tennessee, George Dickel Barrel Select is a Tennessee whiskey aged at least 9 years. A small number of barrels are selected for blending and undergo charcoal mellowing. It is bottled at 86 proof with a mashbill of 84% corn, 8% rye and 8% malted barley.
The rich, mouth-coating palate piles on more sweet fruit and tarte Tatin, with flavors of mocha, peanut chocolate bars, and lemongrass lending complexity. Drying tannins, toasted almond, and sandalwood bring home the finish.
Caramel starts us out but the corn comes rolling in close behind it. Amidst the rolling waves of caramel and corn are notes of vanilla, oak, clove and rye.
