- Age
- 15 years
- ABV
- 46%
Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Deep amber with rich copper-mahogany highlights; 15 years of oak contact creates significant colour depth
- Nose
- Brown butter, rich caramel, stewed apples, vanilla, and the typical Dickel grain/hay note. Oak and leather with hints of dried fruit from the extended aging
- Palate
- Rich and oak-driven with brown butter, caramel, stewed apple, and vanilla. The 15-year aging brings significant wood influence — tannic, structured, and complex. Single barrel variation means each bottle is unique. Can be hit-or-miss per barrel
- Finish
- Long finish with oak, dried fruit, brown butter, and the distinctive Dickel grain note. The longest finish in the standard Dickel range. More wood-forward than the Bottled in Bond
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
