George Dickel Signature Recipe is a handcrafted, small-batch Tennessee whisky from Cascade Hollow Distillery in Tullahoma, Tennessee, bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof).
Formerly known as George Dickel No. 12, it is made from a mash bill of 84% corn, 8% rye and 8% malted barley.
Like every Tennessee whisky, it is charcoal mellowed before ageing, and Dickel chills its whisky before it passes through the charcoal.
This recipe is blended with older whiskies to achieve deep, assertive flavours with an incredibly smooth finish.
George Dickel was established in 1870, and the label still carries George A. Dickel's signature. The distillery sits in Cascade Hollow near Tullahoma, where cool spring water feeds the stills, and Signature Recipe remains the house's everyday flagship: an approachable, well-priced Tennessee whisky with real depth.

How to Enjoy It
Enjoy Dickel Signature Recipe neat, on the rocks, or with a splash of water to open its caramel and corn sweetness. It makes a smooth Old Fashioned with demerara and Angostura, a classic Whisky Sour, and a Lynchburg-style lemonade with triple sec and lemon-lime soda. Mix it with ginger ale or cola over ice for an easy highball. For a crowd, mix a pitcher of Dickel with lemonade, a splash of orange liqueur and plenty of ice and lemon wheels. Pair it with smoked brisket, barbecue chicken, cornbread, pecan pie and aged cheddar. 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.
