I bought this as a very random American whisky. Looking back, I know I wanted to bottle-share this, as well as some other bottlings by The Single Cask. I also know that this one didn’t share very well and I didn’t sell a lot of samples. The other one was a Glenrothes that did go well.

This whisky is most likely distilled by George Dickel distillery. I am not 100% sure, but the options are quite limited and this seems to be the consensus on the Internet.

Sniff:
Notes of dry corn, green malt, barley, oak and those green mosses on tree trunks. Quite sharp, but not immature. Tobacco and cherry stones.

Sip:
A dry and peppery arrival. Chili heat, dry oak, straw and a slightly bitter note. Not sweet at all, with somewhat lighter flavors.

Swallow:
The finish is a bit warmer, a bit more rich and dark. Still quite hot, but also rather tasty.

So, it’s a decent Tennessee whisky. It’s not great, but it is far from bad as well. The tobacco and cherry notes on the nose are quite nice, as is the lack of sweetness. But, apart from that it is a bit generic.
