Description

George Dickel Elma Wine & Liquor Single Barrel Select Whiskey

Born 40 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, George A. Dickel was an established Nashville merchant when he entered the whisky business. Dickel grew his reputation for selling the smoothest, most mellow spirits in the region.

Thus, Geo. A. Dickel & Co. was born and when the Cascade Hollow Distillery opened in 1878 in neighboring Coffee County, George Dickel bought a large share. George Dickel followed in the Scottish tradition of spelling whisky without an “e.”

George Dickel preferred whisky made in the winter months more than summer months because he felt it made the whisky taste smoother, so the company began advertising their Tennessee Whisky as “Mellow as Moonlight.” This is why our whisky is chilled before undergoing the charcoal-mellow filtration known as the Lincoln County Process. This extra step smooths out the flavor and we’re still the only Tennessee distillery to do it.

George Dickel Elma Wine & Liquor Single Barrel Select Whiskey is aged at least 15 years and was hand selected by the staff and customers of Elma Wine & Liquor. This bottle is limited and irreplaceable. The whiskey is bottled at barrel strength, 96.2°. Honey amber in color with aromas of mature oak, heavy caramel and spice. The first sip coats the palate, sticking flavors of caramel, mature oak, spice and hints of tropical fruit. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a soft spice presence.
