Cascade Moon '150 Years of George Dickel' Edition No. 2 Whisky
Cascade Moon '150 Years of George Dickel' Edition No. 2 Whisky is a 90-proof (45% ABV) 750mL bottle — a small-batch blend of fewer than 20 barrels holding some of Cascade Hollow's best whiskies aged at least 17 years, celebrating 150 years of George Dickel. The blend was curated around the first barrel of Tennessee whisky filled after the distillery returned from shutdown in 2003, from a mash bill of 84% corn, 10% rye, and 6% malted barley. It arrives in a sandblasted ceramic bottle with labels hand-printed on a 130-year-old press — and earned 92 points from Whisky Advocate.

Seventeen Years in the Making
Edition No. 2 is the opposite pole of No. 1: deep, savory, and old. The 2003 post-shutdown barrels bring leather, tobacco, and minty eucalyptus over a caramel core — the kind of complexity that only comes from time in new charred oak. A collector's piece and a drinker's whisky at once. See more American whiskey or the Cascade Moon lineup at Del Mesa Liquor.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Caramel, vanilla, and oak with licorice and barrel char (per reviewers).
Palate: Medium-bodied and savory — toasty cereal, mint, and earthy spice over a caramel backbone.
Finish: Leathery and long, with tobacco, tea leaf, and a hint of butterscotch.
How to Enjoy
Neat, in a Glencairn, with nothing but time — this is a slow-evening pour. A few drops of water open the mint and caramel. Save it for the friend who appreciates what 17 years tastes like.
