George Dickel Bourbon 8 year

George Dickel Bourbon 8 Year is a premium offering from the Cascade Hollow Distilling Co., located in Tullahoma, Tennessee. While George Dickel is traditionally known for its Tennessee whiskey, this bourbon is crafted using the same distillation and aging processes but with a distinct barrel selection and blending approach. Overseen by General Manager and Distiller Nicole Austin, this bourbon reflects a thoughtful evolution of the brand. Aged for 8 years, this bourbon is crafted from hand-selected barrels chosen for their unique maturation characteristics. The barrels are likely sourced from higher ricks in the distillery’s single-story warehouses, where increased exposure to heat cycles enhances the aging process. This careful selection results in a bourbon with a more pronounced oak influence and a refined balance of flavors. The use of the Lincoln County Process, where the whiskey is filtered through sugar maple charcoal before aging, adds an additional layer of smoothness and complexity. Bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV) and priced affordably, George Dickel Bourbon 8 Year is an excellent choice for those seeking a well-aged, approachable bourbon.
