George Dickel Rye Whisky brings depth, range and personality, with spicy flavour and subtle fruit notes ending in a remarkably smooth finish, bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof).
It is made from 95% rye and 5% malted barley, distilled in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, for the Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. of Tullahoma, Tennessee.
Like Dickel's Tennessee whisky, it is chilled before undergoing charcoal-mellow filtration, creating a truly unique rye.
With its complex flavour and finish, it is perfect for sipping on its own or adding a delicious kick to your favourite cocktail.
George Dickel was established in 1870, and the green label carries the motto 'smooth sippin''.
American rye whiskey is made from a mash of at least 51% rye and aged in new charred oak, giving it a spicier, drier character than bourbon, with notes of pepper, herbs and baking spice.

How to Enjoy It
George Dickel Rye is best enjoyed in a Dickel Highball: pour it over ice in a tall glass and top with ginger ale or soda water and a lemon twist. It also makes a spicy Manhattan with sweet vermouth and bitters, a classic Sazerac, a Whiskey Sour and a bright Old Fashioned. Sip it neat to appreciate its spice and fruit. Pair it with smoked meats, charcuterie, rye bread, sharp cheddar and apple pie. For a gathering, chill the bottle and set out glasses, ice and garnishes so guests can serve themselves. A bottle also makes a thoughtful host gift for a dinner party or the holidays.
