George Dickel Bourbon Whiskey 8 Year Old
90 proof 8 years Bourbon George Dickel Shelbyville, TN $30 84% corn, 8% rye, 8% malted barley
Nose

Light ethanol, fruity notes with banana and peach, mineral character reminiscent of rubbing rocks together, a touch of oak from eight years of aging.

Palate

Prominent mineral note, dry peanut butter powder character, peanut shell notes, light oak influence more akin to new oak than charred barrel wood, light tobacco hint, little corn sweetness despite high corn content, moderate spice from the rye, carrot cake and vanilla undertones.

Finish

Dry with tobacco notes on the backend, minimal lingering oak influence, somewhat sharp edges.

Forgettable
A light and dry eight-year bourbon with notable mineral character that falls short of expectations for its age statement, lacking the viscosity, sweetness, and well-aged oak influence one would typically anticipate.
