For our my first ever Tennessee Whiskey I went to George Dickel, the granddaddy of them all as far as quality goes. This stuff ain’t Jack Daniels, I’ll tell you that.
What the hell is the difference between Tennessee Whiskey & bourbon? I figured I would ask the question for you. Tennessee Whiskey is also at least 51 % corn just like bourbon & it is also aged 2 years in new American charred oak barrels. The major difference is that almost all T.W. goes through the “Lincoln County Process”.
This is a process where the whisky is filtered through sugar maple charcoal before aging in barrel. This adds a smoky tone but also makes the whisky lighter on the palate & much more mellow. Perfect for easy sipping in the warm weather or for making cocktails.
You should know firstly that a “Barrel Select” is the best juice that Dickel offers. But ours is even better than usual best stuff that Dickel offers because I picked it out of a group of 20 barrels that they “earmarked” as the best of the best. Ours is 9 years old & I convinced them to bottle it at 103 proof.
Ripe Apple, chocolate and tobacco on the nose. On the palate there is notes of Vanilla, Tobacco & Banana. Super smooth with a long lingering finish. You won’t find a better bottle of Tennessee Whiskey.

“At the helm for Blue Run Spirits’ whiskeys are whiskey director Shaylyn Gammon and liquid advisor Jim Rutledge, who demonstrate their mastery with this blend of three Kentucky bourbons aged 6, 8, and 9 years. Oatmeal raisin cookies and tropical aromas dominate the nose, though dried pineapple is soon overtaken by cinnamon spice, vanilla bean, and grape jelly. The palate is rich with flavors of chocolate and espresso, then playful notes of raspberry syrup. Flourless chocolate cake, more fruit, and a good deal of heat make for a tantalizing finish.”
This is my third private barrel of Bourbon that I sourced from Bulleit and my first since 2022. Believe you me, they give you a ton (and I mean a ton) of samples to go through to make up for lost time. The winning combo is something people are going to love. Allow me to introduce you to Barrel #5-B3-82. It’s smooth and layered, with a full creamy mouthfeel and manages to sneak in at 104 Proof. On the nose, I get fresh cut oak, vanilla and brown butter. On the palate, freshly baked banana bread, burnt orange and graham cracker.
The third release of three batches from Booker’s Bourbon 2023 Collection is Booker’s Batch 2023-03 ‘Might Fine Batch.’ These mini-releases have become extremely popular, and for good reason. “The vanilla and brown sugar sweet notes come through very well from the white oak barrels this bourbon aged in for over seven years. The taste is great and full bodied; when I added a splash of water, it opened up some great flavors, with a finish that gives a lovely “Kentucky Hug. My Dad would say that this is a Mighty Fine batch of Booker’s.” -Fred Noe
I was given fourteen samples to taste through, and found that the 5th sample was the winner. This one is not for the faint of heart. It was a tiny barrel of just 40 six-packs, but the quality here was out of the world. It checks in at 110 Proof (55% alc.) and has harmonious sweet and savory notes that dual throughout this super long and memorable finish. It’s worth selling less bottles to bring you one this good – you guys are going to absolutely love it.
