George Dickel Reserve 17-Year Tennessee Whisky

This is one of those crazy stories that only ever get told in the Whiskey world of Kentucky and Tennessee. Eighty barrels of bourbon sat in the back of a single-story warehouse for 17 years without anybody even remembering they were there. Master Distiller Allisa Henley eventually stumbled on the 80 barrels, tried it – couldn’t believe what she was tasting and rushed to get it all in bottle. That was in June of 2016.

The mashbill here is 84% corn, 8% rye and 8% malted barley and was charcoal mellowed after distillation. You just about cannot find any of this stuff in the market and when you do, it’s usually super costly (up to $800/btl). Still, there’s no way I’m charging that – I want to be on the low side and give everybody a chance at this great collector’s item at a price less than half of what others are going out with. Enjoy!
