This handcrafted, small-batch bourbon is richly complex, perfected by time, experience, and true craftsmanship. To create something this special, we use local spring water, choose only our best quality grains, and create our own charcoal from sugar maple for our signature chilled charcoal filtration process. Once distilled, we age our bourbon gracefully in charred oak barrels for 8 years and then blend it to perfection. Now that's what we call smooth sippin' whiskey. Whisky Advocate's #5 Whisky of 2021, scored 93.

Critic reviews and blind-tasting competition results for this bottle.
There is a friendliness to the palate that makes it ideal for outdoor imbibing, with notes of spearmint, mixed berries, nougat, and honey. Big spice on the finish makes this a memorable sip.
The nose is nutty and well-spiced, with caramel corn, toasted pecans, cinnamon graham crackers, cherry tart, and butterscotch candies. … Big spice on the finish makes this a memorable sip.
On the palate, the signature George Dickel sweet-tart candy/children's vitamins tartness still prevails, but with less char in the midpalate. … Pretty darn good bang for the buck, considering the age statement and price range.
