George Dickel Bottled in Bond has a mash bill of 84% corn, 8% rye and 8% malted barley. It is chill charcoal mellowed like the rest of the George Dickel Tennessee Whisky portfolio.
The follow-up to last year’s 13 year old Bottled in Bond—which we named Whisky of the Year—this 11 year old Tennessee whiskey was distilled in 2008. It shares flavor similarities with its predecessor but is described by distiller Nicole Austin as bigger and bolder in character.
Look for deep, dark, haunting flavors in this 100-proof Tennessee whiskey, which evolves as water or ice is added to tame the alcohol heat. Burnt caramel and toffee telescope into espresso, black pepper, clove, unsweetened chocolate and a hint of black licorice. Overall, the effect is earthy, woodsy and complex.
