George Dickel Bottled In Bond

George Dickel Bottled in Bond is a Tennessee whisky hailing from the Cascade Hollow Distillery in Tullahoma, Tennessee. The George Dickel brand itself dates back to 1870, when George A. Dickel, a Nashville merchant, entered the whisky business and became known for smooth, mellow spirits. He bought a large share in the Cascade Hollow Distillery when it opened in 1878. While the brand has a long history, including a shutdown during Prohibition and a distillery rebuilding in 1958, the Bottled in Bond expressions are more recent award-winning additions, with the first, a 13-year-old, released in 2019. The brand is known for its tradition of chilling the whisky before charcoal mellowing, a practice George Dickel believed resulted in a smoother product. This particular Bottled in Bond series is noteworthy for providing whisky fans with an authentic, quality spirit reflective of the historic distillery's commitment to the stringent standards of the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897.
