George Dickel Barrel Select Tennessee Whisky
Tennessee Whisky | 43% ABV | 86 Proof | 750mL | Tullahoma, Tennessee, USA | Small Batch | 10–12-Year Maturation | Charcoal Mellowed
Process & Profile
George Dickel Barrel Select Tennessee Whisky brings together 10 hand-selected barrels of whisky matured for 10 to 12 years. Produced at Cascade Hollow in Tullahoma, Tennessee, this small-batch expression combines selected barrels to create a balanced profile with a rich, silky texture.
George Dickel’s chilled charcoal mellowing is a defining part of its production process. Together with extended maturation, it contributes to Barrel Select’s mellow character and its signature notes of vanilla, spice, and charcoal. Bottled at 86 proof, the whisky offers an approachable strength for sipping neat or over ice.
The flavor develops beyond those core notes with caramel sweetness, butterscotch, delicate floral accents, and gentle black pepper and allspice. A long finish carries sweetness and fading spice, making Barrel Select a useful addition to a home bar for both relaxed sipping and classic whisky cocktails.
