Nose: Warm caramel and vanilla lead the way, followed by hints of toasted oak and baking spices. There's a subtle fruitiness reminiscent of ripe apples and dried cherries. A faint nuttiness rounds out the aroma.
Palate: Rich and full-bodied with a velvety texture. Flavors of butterscotch and toffee mingle with cinnamon and nutmeg. Notes of charred oak and leather add depth, while a touch of citrus zest provides brightness. Gentle corn sweetness underlies the experience.
Finish: Medium to long, with lingering warmth. The sweetness fades to reveal more oak tannins and a peppery spice. Hints of dark chocolate and coffee emerge, along with a subtle smokiness. The finish leaves a pleasant dryness, inviting another sip.
George Dickel Bourbon Whisky Aged 8 Years is crafted using a mash bill of 84% corn, 8% rye, and 8% malted barley, then aged for a minimum of 8 years in new, charred oak barrels. What sets this bourbon apart is its unique chilling process before filtration, where the whisky is cooled to 40°F, allowing for a smoother taste and the removal of harsh flavors without compromising the rich character developed during aging.
