George Dickel Rye Whiskey (750ml)
95
Wine Enthusiast
Review Date: 12/2016On the smoother, sweeter side of the rye spectrum, this whiskey offers a restrained aroma that mixes vanilla and oak and luxe, bold flavors that resound with -cigar wrapper, leather, toffee and cocoa. The long finish is perked up by a fleeting cut-apple freshness, marked by allspice and clove. Cocktail friendly. Made in Indiana, bottled in Connecticut. *Top 25 Spirits of 2016 & Best Buy* (KN)

Notes
Here we have the venerated Tennessee distillery, dipping its toes into the hot-as-coal rye whiskey market. Granted, they haven't actually distilled any Rye Whiskey, but they've sourced it from Lawrenceburg Distillers in Indiana. The whiskey is than subjected to George Dickel's special charcoal mellowing process, which is typically performed before ageing, but was adapted for this new product to add softness to the typically heady, savory spirit coming out of Indiana.
