George Dickel recently announced the newest release from the Cascade Hollow Distillery, Dickel Bourbon.
For Cascade Hollow Distilling Co.’s General Manager and Distiller Nicole Austin, creating the 8 year old bourbon was an opportunity to showcase the mature whiskies at the distillery. At the same time, it allowed the brand to give a home to those barrels that leaned into more traditional bourbon notes and did not express the Tennessee Whiskey tasting characteristics found in the rest of the George Dickel offerings.
When she was creating the ultimate blend for Dickel Bourbon, Austin sampled thousands of barrels in the distillery’s inventory before selecting the final liquid. The result is a handcrafted, small-batch bourbon that’s been blended to perfection.
“At Cascade Hollow, we have a lot of whiskies that exemplify the Tennessee Whiskey style, but we also have inventory that has a lot more in common with bourbon as we understand it in America,” said Nicole Austin, General Manager and Distiller at Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. “Dickel Bourbon is an opportunity for us to finally share this quality liquid with the rest of the world. I’m particularly proud that we have the kind of mature whisky inventory that can deliver an 8-year-old bourbon. As a style, bourbon is meant to be more approachable and balanced, and Dickel Bourbon is a great entry point into our whole portfolio.”
At 90 proof, bourbon fans can best enjoy Dickel Bourbon neat or on the rocks, in addition to mixing it into some of their favorite cocktails like an Old Fashioned. Dickel Bourbon retails for $32.99.
