George Dickel 17 Year Old Reserve Cask Strength Tennessee Whisky 750mL

Initially released as a limited time offering, George Dickel is excited to announce the return of George Dickel 17 Year Old Reserve, an incredibly rare, aged Tennessee whisky. Inspired by the previous release and its dedicated fans, General Manager and Distiller Nicole Austin intentionally searched for barrels that captured what made the original liquid special.

With a woody, robust profile, the newest release pays homage to the old liquid while featuring subtle contrasts that differentiate the two. This perfectly aged, cask-strength release boasts complex aromas of crème brûlée, apricots with hints of plum and juniper on the palate and a rich cedar finish.

Tasting Notes:

A perfectly balanced, delicate taste with floral notes and hints of vanilla and spice.

"Another exceptional release from Nicole Austin. This is an excellent Tennessee whiskey with enough complexity to keep me interested in it while still having the mellow quality one might expect from the category. I would struggle to think anyone that enjoys Tennessee whiskey would find issue with this bottle. The price point certainly puts it out of range of approachable, but is very reasonable for a 17 year old age statement." - Ian Arnold, The Whiskey Wash (10/10)

"This is a powerhouse of a GD release and if you’re a fan of Dickel you will indeed love this whiskey. If you’re not a fan of that classic Dickel profile then this George Dickel 17 Year Old Reserve will not be your friend because it’s a dark heavy dollop of it." - Josh Peters, The Whiskey Jug (92 Points)

"Robust aromas of candy apple, bing cherry, cinnamon, and blood orange mix with a hint of saddle leather and clove. On the palate, tart fruits (plum, cherry, orange) meet sweet raisins, cocoa, and roasted cashews. The finish has a good spark of heat set off by baking spices, with that boozy nut butter-and-jelly effect lasting on the tongue." - Amanda Schuster, Distiller (92 Points)

"A zesty nose with sweet notes of maple syrup and Sugar Daddy, green banana and musty oak lead to a palate that offers bitter chocolate, coffee, and more mature oak. While the wood influence is strong, the flavor profile manages to hang in there and emerges well balanced. Overall, it is fairly light in its flavor footprint, which seems somewhat constrained by the barrel influence, but is nevertheless a very sippable, enjoyable whiskey." - David Fleming, Whisky Advocate (91 Points)
