Bourbon
George Dickel
$30
84% corn, 8% rye, 8% malted barley
Nose
Light ethanol presence, fruity notes with hints of banana and peach, mineral notes reminiscent of rubbed stone, oak influence present
Palate
Strong mineral character dominating the profile, dry peanut butter powder notes, tobacco hint on the backend, minimal oak influence leaning toward new oak rather than charred, limited sweetness despite high corn content, slight carrot cake and vanilla notes
Finish
Dry finish with tobacco lingering, lacking viscosity and depth expected for an eight-year expression, bittersweet edge
Underwhelming
A light-bodied eight-year bourbon that feels more like a five-year whiskey with sharp edges, lacking the sweetness and oak integration expected at its stated age and price point.
