Mr. George Dickel

I’m sitting on a couple bottles of George Dickel whiskey.

First is the Dickel Bottle in Bond. I’ve been looking around for it for a spell. Many places have it but for around $60. This one was less than $40 from Bel Air if I remember correctly.

I’ve opened and drank about half the bottle. Wasn’t disappointed. Initial taste has a slight edge to it. I’m curious how it will taste when I get back to it.

Next up is the George Dickel 15 Year Single Barrel. This one came from K&L wines for $55. I had been liking that company’s online experience but the last purchase has me looking elsewhere.

I’m not sure what bottle number I have, would have to dig it out. I’m saving this one for down the road. I do wish it was cask strength however.

1792 Full Proof – Fully Enjoyed

I recently acquired a couple bottles of 1792 Full Proof from K&L Wines.

While the experience with the vendor was subpar and has caused me to seek better supplier the product itself was great.

It has been a while since I had a spirit with such high proof – 125. The first drink is a bit of a shocker but once adjusted it is a fine a dram.

It was selected by Jim Murry as his best whiskey of the year for 2020.
