George Dickel Single Barrel 15 Year Old Tennessee Whiskey
George Dickel Single Barrel 15 Year Old Tennessee Whiskey is a hand-bottled single barrel at cask strength — proof varies barrel to barrel, from 80 to 104.6 proof (40–52.3% ABV) — in a 750mL bottle from Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. in Tullahoma, Tennessee. Made from Dickel's 84% corn, 8% rye, 8% malted barley mash and aged at least 15 years in new charred American oak, it gets Dickel's signature chill charcoal mellowing: the distillate is chilled to about 40°F, then passed through 10–12 feet of sugar-maple charcoal. Gold Medal at the 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Fifteen Years in a Single Story Warehouse
Dickel ages its whiskey in single-story warehouses at Cascade Hollow, so every barrel rides Tennessee's full seasonal swings — and after 15 years, no two barrels come out alike. This single-barrel program, launched in late 2020, bottles that individuality at cask strength with minimal filtering.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Vanilla, toffee, and treacle with rich leather. Palate: Saddle oil and wood depth, lifted by delicate fruit and a lavender perfume note. Finish: Long and dark — the colour alone, a deep leather brown, tells the 15-year story.
How to Enjoy
Neat, in a Glencairn, with time. Because each barrel is bottled at its own cask strength, a splash of water lets you tune your specific barrel to taste.
