George Dickel Bottled in Bond is a 13-year-old Tennessee whisky from Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. in Tullahoma, Tennessee, bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV).
Cascade Hollow traces its roots to the original George Dickel distillery, which has produced Tennessee whisky in the foothills of the Cumberland Plateau since the 1870s. The mash bill is 84% corn, 8% rye and 8% malted barley, distilled to 135 proof before Dickel's signature chill charcoal mellowing. As a bottled-in-bond whisky, it follows the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897: the product of one distilling season, aged and bottled under government regulations that guarantee authenticity and quality.
Bold and balanced, it shows uncommon depth among bottled-in-bond American whiskies, and thirteen years in the barrel give Dickel's gentle, chill-mellowed spirit real depth and structure. At 100 proof, it can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks and is well suited to many classic cocktails.
The classic blue label signed by George Dickel makes it a fine gift for whisky collectors.
Chill charcoal mellowing, in which the whiskey is chilled before it passes through charcoal, is a Dickel hallmark that gives the spirit its smooth texture.
Tennessee whisky differs from bourbon mainly in that charcoal filtering step before barreling.
Aged bottled-in-bond releases have earned Dickel a devoted following among whisky enthusiasts.
