In time for National Bourbon Day, George Dickel is excited to announce the newest release from the award-winning Cascade Hollow Distillery – Dickel Bourbon – a permanent offering that’s been aged 8 years.

George Dickel Bourbon boasts sweet initial notes of vanilla leading into bright hints of cherry and orange before being balanced by almond toffee and oak. While the liquid is approachable and balanced, it does also have some complexity due to it being aged 8 years. At 90 proof, bourbon fans can best enjoy Dickel Bourbon neat or on the rocks, in addition to mixing it into some of their favorite cocktails like an Old Fashioned.

While many of the brand’s Tennessee Whiskeys also meet the criteria to be called bourbons, George Dickel will continue to label its other permanent offerings as Tennessee Whiskey since the liquid’s bold tasting characteristics are more closely related to that style. On the other hand, Nicole and the team chose to label Dickel Bourbon as a bourbon due to the final liquid offering a perfectly balanced combination of vanilla, oak, fruit and spice – the tasting profile most closely associated with traditional bourbon – without any one of them rising above the other.
