George Dickel 17 Year Old Reserve Whiskey
Palate: Baked Apple Strudel, Chocolate-Covered Cherries, Oaky Tannins
Finish: Creamy Dessert, Piny Citrus, Medium-Long Finish
For decades, George Dickel has been releasing some of the best Tennessee Whiskey in the Volunteer State. And the 2022 George Dickel 17 Year Old Reserve is nothing short of exceptional (except for the price tag). The nose opens with dark fruits, including plum and cherry, followed by sweet vanilla and wafts of pecan. On the palate, wow, just, wow! It’s like a baked apple strudel topped with chocolate-covered cherries. And then there’s just the slightest hint of cinnamon and oaky tannins. It’s intense. The silky, creamy, dessert-like ending with piny citrus is the most enjoyable finish on any bottle of Dickel I’ve ever had. Or any bottle of Tennessee Whiskey that comes to mind, for that matter. If you’re a fan of the Dickel 15 or Dickel 9, you’ll be blown away by the 17.
