Ten years of patient aging have transformed this Tennessee whisky into a remarkably sophisticated pour. Crafted in Cascade Hollow, this 86-proof expression offers a harmonious blend of sweet butterscotch and robust oak, making it an accessible yet deeply satisfying experience.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A captivating initial wave of crème brûlée and old-fashioned butterscotch, underscored by a mellow undercurrent of charred oak and soft leather. Subtle hints of dried apricot and candied orange peel emerge, along with a whisper of baking spices – cinnamon and nutmeg.

Palate: A surprisingly robust entry for its proof, delivering a delightful creaminess on the tongue. Sweet caramel and rich vanilla bean dominate, elegantly balanced by a peppery spice and a pleasant dryness from the extended oak aging. Notes of toasted nuts, dark chocolate, and a faint echo of the signature Dickel mineral essence (flint/limestone) are discernible, providing complexity without austerity.

Finish: Medium-long and warming, with persistent notes of sweet oak, black pepper, and dwindling caramel. A gentle lingering of dried fruit and a touch of roasted coffee bean round out the experience, leaving a subtle, satisfying warmth.
