George Dickel Old No. 8 Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey (1980's Bottling) (75cl)

Colour

Rich amber with copper-gold highlights.

Nose

Soft, inviting nose of vanilla and caramel, balanced with warm corn sweetness. Subtle maple and toasted oak add depth, while gentle spice and a light citrus lift keep the aroma bright and approachable—a classic Old No. 8 profile.

Palate

Silky, medium-bodied and well balanced, this opens with honeyed corn, vanilla and toffee that glide into gentle caramel. Subtle rye spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—adds lift, while toasted oak provides structure without harshness. The mouthfeel is velvety, with a delicate buoyancy. Finishes long and warm, leaving a soft, sweet-spice echo and a final kiss of oak.

Finish

Silky and lasting, the finish unfurls vanilla and honeyed caramel, tempered by toasted oak. Gentle rye spice threads through, leaving a warm, mouth-coating sweetness that settles into almond, dried fruit, and a whisper of smoke. It lingers with refined warmth, fading to a soft, elegant echo.
