George Dickel 15 Year Old Single Barrel S2B28

A rare, superior Tennessee Whisky and a one-of-a-kind liquid experience. Over the years, Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. has carefully set aside a limited number of casks holding their most precious and richly complex George Dickel Tennessee Whisky. While no two casks are the same, and each will vary in taste, you can expect a rich and complex liquid in every bottle. The variability that makes single barrel spirits so special is strongly expressed in these older liquids, with the influence of slight variations in their aging conditions growing over time. The color will be dark, rich leather brown from the years spent in new American oak.

From Lee Diaz, Topflight Series Panel Member: 

This is our 4th George Dickel 15YO Grey Label release, and we picked something special for you. I have shared before that Cascade Hollow is one of my favorite distillery destinations because this beautifully understated location produces some magnificent flavors in every release. At the same time, the fact that you can get a pour that is typically quite a bit older than the 15YO stated age at this price point is unheard of.

In this bottle, you'll discover a single barrel release that's actually over 16 years old. It's also the first of our Dickel-15 releases that comes in over the hundred mark, hitting a tasty 104.6 proof. This smells like fresh oatmeal cookies with chocolate, cinnamon, and toasted oak on the nose. Each sip develops with orange citrus, graham cracker, pecan, toffee, and florals on the palate. The finish introduces mint, dark chocolate, clove, herbal tea, and leather nuances. This is a medium finish with a pleasant warmth. How much longer will we be surprised with these over 15YO barrels? We'll save that concern for the future. For now, grab this bottle and enjoy the whisky tradition that George Dickel has developed.
