It's not about the whiskey, it's the people you share it with!

I picked this up because of this video, knowing I don’t usually like dickel, and now I have to go back to the store tomorrow to get another
Dude. This is a stellar review. The historical narrative is awesome and insanely informative, and your notes on the whiskey itself are mouthwatering. Absolutely killer work.
Stop talking about Dickel lol I like people crapping all over it so it stays on shelf responsibly price ! Dickel is killing it at the moment
Same haha 😂 ❤
Gross. That Flintstone vitamin is just nasty. I just got a barrell craft store pick. I got excited because its a 14yr for $90. I should have read more of the bottle. Wasnt until i got home i noticed its only 90prf eventhough it says cask strength, and also didnt realize its only Tennessee distillate. Usually barrell craft is a blend of TN, KY, IN, and they're usually really good. This one is just straight dickel and not very good. I cant believe the store would pick this out of other barrell craft barrells. Very disappointing to pay $90 for straight dickel.
Brilliant video Jason and a great historical run down too. Cheers buddy.
His videos are like a daily whiskey history lesson🤘🤘
I just got the 15 year old for $69 in Oregon.. Really good. Thank you for the review!!
I love how you always incorporate a lot of history in your reviews. This one, in particular, was very detailed. I'll have to check this out, if I can find a bottle.
Glad to see a review of this. Thanks. I'm a big fan. I have one open now that's 101.2 proof and it's amazing. But, as single barrels, these can be all over the place. I had a bottle that had a very strong bitter oak note in the finish which was off putting. But, a friend gave me a sample of an 82 proof that was amazing - actually better than the 100+ proof ones I've had. These 80 - 84 proof expressions are close to cask strength and just come from barrels that lost proof during aging due to cool and damp location in the rickhouse. Thus, can be packed with flavor despite the low proof. So, don't shy away from the lower proof versions of this. Cheers!
Blue Note out of Memphis uses 9/10-year barrel proof Dickel for its store picks and I think they’re awesome. Even more than the age, I feel like the elevated proof does wonders for Dickel.
I just picked up a bottle at 96.2 proof/48.1.......it's absolutely amazing!!! Passed on it because of the name, huge mistake. I went back and bought 2 more. This bottle is an absolute gem that is constantly overlooked.
Just bought two bottles of the 52.3% ABV at Total Wine down in FL as me and family are on Spring Break. Hope you steered me right! LOL. THANKS Jason.
I never tried any Dickle products, but a friend said that the local store had a 15 year store pick single barrel Dickle, so i tried it, 60 bucks. For the price this is an AMAZING value. I was waiting for that strong minerality, but was surprised, i had to search for the flavor, but i did find what everyone talks about... im OK with it, its like a chewable vitamin taste, but its on the back end and it fits. Stright or on the rocks, baby Old Fashioned, this bottle is great!!!
I know it isn't cool to say you like Dickel, but I do. I've been drinking it off and on for about 25 years. Tan label No. 12 only. I haven't had it for a year or so, but recently found a bottle in the back of a cabinet. I cracked it last night and it was just as I remembered: a wonderful little 'orange creamsicle' sipper. I bought a bottle of the 15-year today and am expecting good things.
Jason I just got a bottle last night. Can’t find it in New Jersey but was bought in Tennessee and delivered. Now I know what I’m in for.
Thanks for your continued good work.
Excellent review! Years ago I had a 14yr store select for $40 that was even richer. Then, disappointed by every bottle since and THIS is darn close with regular availability. I will be picking up 2 more bottles next week. Cheers!
Great review dude! i was reading on reddit how bourbon fans were debating this one...feels like alot of folks were pre-judging based on history with other dickel products. Glad to see you came in and provided a nice history (i LOVE when you give whiskey history!!!) and a great review. These days anything that drops in limited quantities gets gobbled up fast around here, but if i trip over a bottle of Dickel 15, im gonna be owning that bottle of Dickel 15. Cheers sir!!!
I got a few bottles of a lower proof bottle of the 15 yr Dickel, and did not make a difference. Very good flavor profiles.
My favorite Reviewer on You Tube- great review. This is an excellent whisky and even the lower ABV carries tons of flavor and a spicey finish. I also notice that the vitamin note really tones down after a couple of weeks.
I noticed it on the shelves in NC the last month or so. I picked up a bottle yesterday. Delicious. Well aged.
Jason, I'm subscribing to the channel ❤😂 because of your take and great descriptors on this btl! Cheers 🥂 from ETn Smoky Mtns---
Found the 104.6 proof on sale for $51 in E. Tennessee and got 3 bottles since I've been a fan of the BiB releases and I couldn't believe 15 year-old whisky was that inexpensive. Cinnamon, orange, clove, burnt brown sugar, creaminess all backed up by the oak. Wonderful dram.
Absolutely amazing. I admit, I was sceptical at first but it's such a smooth sipper. Mine came in at 93.4 proof and really hit the sweet spot in my opinion. Hopefully I'll come across this again at a higher proof to compare. Great content Jason and appreciate the history lessons and insight. Cheers sir!
I appreciate all the background. I've only got one bottle of Dickel, a 9 year old 103 proof single barrel that I bought 5 years ago. Sounds like I should pop that cork and buy one of these to keep it company. I'm surprised they are releasing some of these at 80 proof, I would avoid those too.
I have the 52.3% and love it! I have more Kentucky whiskey in my cabinet but have a deep appreciation for Dickel with the 15-year at the top of those I have tried. In addition to the notes that you mentioned, I get a note of leather and tobacco in the bottle that I bought and feel this gives it a uniqueness that really sets it apart from the crowd!
Thank you for all this history Jason, your videos are so great and informative!
Picked this up today, -in Illinois- got the 51%abv, it’s great. Complex, spicy, fruity.
Jason thanks for another great review. I appreciate how thorough and informative you are.
My takeaway on this is that Jason loves the Dickel. I'll keep an eye out for this one. Cheers buddy.
Absolute beast. Best value in the game.
just got a bottle in CA. Mine is 42.5% and $60. Excellent, very unique. What a value - thanks for the tip!
Excellent informative video, as usual! Sipping this very whiskey as I watch. I get that chocolate note, now that you mention it! A friend GAVE me an almost-full bottle of 15 year SB after he decided he couldn't get past the notorious Flintstones vitamin flavor note. (Needless to say, he is a great friend!). I can get past it, especially with some good ole present moment awareness practice. LOL. If you let yourself go, you smell that chocolate, bananas, and fermented fruit instead. I have had several bottles of Dickel BiB. Sooo good. In my opinion, Dickel is offering some of the best value for money on the market. 13 year old 100 proof whiskey for $43??? They are doing it right! Love the bottle design across their entire line, especially the single barrel.
Great history! This one and the 8 yr bourbon are very good!
Excellent review. Thank you for the history on George Dickel distillery. Cheers!
I have a bottle on the shelf. Looking forward to giving it a GOOD try
It’s here in Illinois! Local shop just got it in today. What perfect timing to go along with your video. 93.4 proof and I’m enjoying it. Would definitely get another bottle so long as I find one at a higher proof to see how it differs. I plan to taste it against both the 11yr and 13yr bib offerings.
Awesome blend of history and review! Well on my way to patreon-ship just because you break it all down so nicely without hype! Love the channel!
Got a bottle a few days ago... a friend of mine found it for me on his lunch break in Columbus. My bottle clocks in at 80 proof, though, which is a bummer, but I'm looking forward to reviewing it soon! This was a great video and I enjoyed the history of the brand.
Great to meet you briefly at Bardstown over the weekend, Jason! Cheers!
Thanks for the review Jason. We have some on the shelf in AL. Will grab a bottle or two!
Woo hoo! I just found the 52.3% for $65. What stinks is I was only able to get one bottle. I guess I’ll be savoring this one. Appreciate the thoroughness and fairness of the review as well as the full history. I also think that what people are paying for The blends with Dickel juice at a higher price or just really biased against George.
Freestyling that beat sick mello hook. Great video.
Have been drinking this brand since 1978. It's affordable and tastes away better that jack! Was in the service with a guy from Tennessee his father worked for Dickel and gave away some secrets that has to do with the taste over jack. And I prefer higher proof in all the whisky I drink. I may have to order this if I can. It's a crime this brand didn't do better than others but I'm a fan.
Just finished a bottle of Dickel 9yr. It’s excellent! The GD 12 is a buddy of mine’s daily sipper. Also, bought the Rye. It’s fantastic! I’ll be grabbing another bottle of 9yr and I’ll look for the 15yr. Great video and cheers!
Another stellar review Jason,,,, I'm officially on the lookout for one now. Thank you
Awesome video! Haven’t tried any Dickel yet but will have to now. At 15 years and only $60 seems like a steal to us! Great history lesson as well!
I picked up a bottle last week. I'm not big on Dickel but a 15 year old for $55 (in California) I couldn't pass it up. Looking forward to opening it this weekend.
Just arrived in Wisconsin! Thanks for the thoughtful review, Prosit!
So glad they have gotten rid of the Flinstone vitamin flavor in their previous products. I bought a couple bottles and have to say it is really good. Hard to find a 15 year whiskey for $60. The 9 year is also very good although I prefer this one over that. Great Vid Jason C. Keep doing what you do!
Great breakdown! I've recently become a Dickel fan, thanks to the BiB releases, have a bottle of this 15yr SB, but haven't opened it yet. This video makes me want to Crack it open right now!
Professor Jason concluding his fantastic history lesson and tasting seminar 15:31 “George Dickel Tennessee WHISKEL...”
Lol Yes. The whiskel
One of my local stores did a store pick here in CO and I love it, even before seeing this video. I’m at 48 and change percent.
Great review, spot on with the flavor notes. This is a very enjoyable sipping whisky. One of if not my favorite. Enjoy friends👍
Just picked up a bottle in El Paso while visiting family. 52.5% so I am excited to test it out. $60 price is reasonable
I had this yesterday and wholeheartedly agree with the notes. It does have the mineral note. Hoity toity bourbon drinkers see it as "arriving" when they can identify the mineral note and reject the bourbon as "Dickel." As long as the minerality isn't out of hand, it doesn't bother me. I do have several bottles with too much of the note that I don't like.
That note is on this, but it is not a major note and there is more depth of flavor than many of the 15 years put out by NDP's and 2X and 3X the price. This is less than Booker's! I'm not going to shout from the rooftops, I am just going to quietly buy this up as people leave it on the shelf because of the "D word."
Just picked up a store pick of this in CO for $65 and love it! 52.3% ABV.
Always an easy thumbs up 👍 for your videos!! Honest, informative and great production
I’ve got my second bottle of BiB and it’s phenomenal. The price is right too. I’ll have my eye out for this offering.
I just got two bottles of a 52.3% barrel that is 17 years old. Easily one of the best bottles of whiskey I've ever tasted. This barrel program is definitely going to be one to keep watching for!
How are you able to determine your 52.3% Barrel was 17 years old?
@@TheReal_DeanD Because it was a store pick there was a neck tag on the bottle that had the distillation date on it.
@@haldendoerge hello. Thank you for taking the time out to reply in detail. You’re so lucky you got that pick.
@@TheReal_DeanD You bet, brotha! Yeah, it was definitely a great pick. Low yield barrel, just about 100 bottles out of it. Nursing my bottle as long as I can.
Your honesty is appreciated.
Was able to get a bottle of this today and it is very good. Almost similar to the I.W. Harper 15 year. “George Dickel Tennessee Whiskel”
just bought a bottle..... this is great
just got the 9 year single barrel but its actually 14.5 years old 96 proof and its exceptional, they had a 15 year that was 17 yr and 4 months old but it was only 86 proof so i went with the other for only 45$!!
My current favorite Whiskey in my budget. What other 15 year can you get for $65 (Central Florida). I have a novice pallet but I think Widow Jane has this is their blend. Dickel 15 is amazing for me. Great review! Thank you
Great review as always. Both of bottles that I have found are 96.2 proof. I think I will wait to find a higher proof batch.
Did you get a bottle of the OHLQ single barrel pick a few months ago? 9 year 103 proof. My first bottle of Dickel. I was so impressed with it, I went in the next day and bought another. So good. Toasty, but not smokey. Very warm and cozy. I love it. It's my first bottle of Dickel, but I will definitely try more now.
Thanks for another awesome review Jason and great whiskey-history lesson. Do you know when they changed the labels of No 12 and No 8? I remember I had one of those older label No 12s back in 2016 through about 2018...Also...5+ years ago I could have sworn Dickel had a different mash bill than today. Old was 91% corn and now it is 84% corn.
Great video. You're the flavor description master. I can taste it as you speak. I'm on it for this one.
Exceptional review, thx u Jason...cheers.
Ended up with a lower proof of this and you are correct, it has a bit more that "Dickel" flavor profile that some are off-put by. Personally, I enjoy the Dickel flavor profile. I much prefer it over others that taste like a bowl of peanuts :D This 15 year is terrific and even at 43% range, it's still a terrific whiskey for the price. Would have loved a higher proof offering, but being in nowheresville, WI; I was just happy to find it at all.
Come on Jason! This stuff was sitting on the shelves in Ohio for a while, but it's starting to dry up after after this video! Shhhhhh😅seriously, this stuff is so good!🥃
I grabbed a bottle of this b/c I really enjoyed their bottled in bond. Got mine at 46.7% (Long Island, NY). Had no idea this release varied in proof so much!
This is the main ingredient of Old Carter Bourbon Batch 3. Can be amazing!!! Great review Jason! Slainte 🥃
exactly my point! cheers fellas!
Ok Jason . GF saw a single bottle of this and I looked up your review while she was at the store. The one in Oregon is 101 proof so I told her higher proof - Jason said get it at $60. So it’s on its way home. 🤞I’ll let you know lol
Happy hour in Cookeville Tennessee has a store pick of this that I just bought. I love it. Still has the 15 year label but was barreled on 9-11-2003 and was just bottled. I don't get much of the mineral aspect that you talked about but everything else was spot on. I'd buy this for 60 bucks over and over.
Thanks for the review Jason! We've been afraid to try Dickel based on reviews we've heard but may change our mind for this one.
Well if you can get the higher proof 15 year then grab one.
@@TheMashandDrum my parents live in Delaware so next time we are down there we will look.
Currently holding off on shopping until after my wedding in late April, but this is on my target list now!
Nicole Austin continues to produce winners!
Dude great review as always.. that intro track is amazing too love the keys
Just went and bought a bottle (barell 301, 100 proof) can’t wait to crack it later after watching this
I need a timeline tree or something with all the history these distilleries have behind them. Thanks for the backstory and review. I’ll look for it.
Fantastic review. Only wish they would use the regular bottle design. Fits better in my cabinet 😊
Just tried to put one in mine and had to turn it sideways. LOL
@@beginningbourbon7385 😂😂😂
Great review!! Thanks for the high quality content.
Awesome content as always! Thanks Jason. Cheers!
Having me a glass of some Dickel Rye right now with a cigar. Delicious stuff and I picked up a few bottles for $12.20 each. I have yet to find a better deal on another whiskey.
Was wondering about this. Grabbed the Barrel Select NAS couple years ago and wasn’t that impressed considering the price point. Solid history lesson too, thanks Jason cheers 💯🥃
This is so beyond the barrel select.
Thanks! Picked up a bottle!
Yeah I just got my hands on one and I’m blown away WOW i’m getting like an orange peel cinnamon pie. Wow this is like in my top three in my whole damn collection
My brother grabbed a bottle in Memphis, he didn't like it so he gave it to me. I think it is some good juice!
Great review and just purchased. Wow is this dark. Looking forward to trying it.
Loved the review and I’m a fan of the Dickel BiB. However, I grabbed a bottle at 94.5 proof and it’s 100% flintstone vitamin. So disappointed.. will try again and let it get more air but as of now it’s everything I hated of the other Dickels.
Just had the the 42% ABV and it's not bad but would definitely like a higher proof on this. Getting a lot of cherry almond vanilla on my bottle though so that's pleasant.
14:23 💯💯💯💯
ALL HAIL GEORGE DICKEL!!
Cheers J!🥃
Sound like an amazing bourbon. Love the review along with some of the history.
Costco in southern CA has GD 15 Barrel priced just under 40 bucks, Love Costco
It’s here in Arkansas. So good!
So Dickel was originally a sourced brand? Circle of life right there.
The OHLQ pick that dropped a short while back is pretty tasty, at least the barrel I got.
Nice Review Jason. I have the Barrel Select in my glass and will be picking the 15 soon!
SLÁINTE
Mike
Love the history and will look for the bourbon.
You need to review the NEW George Dickel 8 year Bourbon that just came out. Reminds me of Buffalo Trace.
I’ll definitely grab one with this kind of proof. I think the one I whiskey she wines reviewed one with really low proof. Cheers man 🤙🥃
The high proof makes a BIG difference,
Took 8 minutes to get to the whiskey. 😄 I’ll come back later for the first 8 minutes though. 😁
Great music selection...classy yet fun beat...Also nice choice of low background volume...Doesnt get in the way of the presentation.
