Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Very deep amber to mahogany; the longest-aged Dickel expression with the richest colour in the entire range
Nose
Strong fruity nose — candy peaches, fresh green apple, cherry cough drop. Deep creme brulee and stone fruit from the long aging. Complex and evolved
Palate
Pronounced oak — semi-sweet and slightly drying. Tanned leather, drying tobacco leaves, and a touch of smoky depth. The 18 years of Tennessee aging create a remarkably mature and complex profile. Stone fruit, creme brulee, and leather dominate
Finish
Very long finish with leather, tobacco, oak, and stone fruit. Drying but not bitter. The most premium Dickel expression — demonstrating that Tennessee whisky can achieve bourbon-rivaling complexity at extreme age
