Product description
George Dickel Classic Recipe is a classic Tennessee whisky that epitomises the brand's smooth and balanced style. Originally known as George Dickel No. 8, it is now regarded as the distillery's standard bottling. The mash consists of 84% maize, 8% rye and 8% malted barley. Before maturing, the whisky is filtered through charcoal made from sugar maple in the Lincoln County Process, which gives it a particularly smooth profile. It is then matured in new, burnt American oak casks and bottled at 40% alcohol (80 proof). Classic Recipe offers fine notes of caramel, vanilla and light oak, rounded off by a subtle sweetness. The Cascade Hollow Distilling Co., home of George Dickel, is one of the few distilleries in Tennessee to maintain this artisanal style to this day. The spelling "Whisky" is a reminder of the founder's claim to produce a drop of the quality of a good Scotch.
The George Dickel Classic Recipe is the direct successor to George Dickel No. 8, as the product was renamed from "No. 8" to "Classic Recipe" by the current owner of the brand as part of a marketing change. The whisky itself has not changed, only the new label reflects the repositioning of the bottling, which is made from the same mashbill as its predecessor and undergoes the same filtering process through layers of charcoal. The alcohol strength of 90 proof (45%) has also remained the same.
