TULLAHOMA, Tenn., Dec. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Last week,
Whisky Advocate announced George Dickel Bottled in Bond as
the 2019 "Whisky of the Year." This recognition follows the
whisky's May release and General Manager and Distiller Nicole
Austin's first innovation since joining the Cascade Hollow
Distilling Company in 2018.
"We've been overwhelmed by the positive reception George Dickel
Bottled in Bond has received since launch," said Austin. "Major thanks to Whisky Advocate for
this incredible recognition. I feel extremely fortunate and
inspired to work at a special place like Cascade Hollow with such a
talented team who had a hand in making this whisky. Cascade Hollow
Distilling Co. is committed to producing quality whisky at a great
value and I'm excited to continue experimenting with the beautiful
whisky we have in the Hollow."
George Dickel Bottled in Bond is a limited release, 13-year-old
whisky. At 100-proof (50% ABV), the whisky offers a bold and
assertive profile with a well-balanced finish highlighted by tastes
of light honey, tropical fruit, warm spices, and a touch of
leather. George Dickel Bottled in Bond has a suggested retail price
of $35.99, making this award-winning spirit accessible for
whisky lovers. This whisky meets all the guidelines outlined by the
U.S. government to be labeled bottled-in-bond.
"At the start of 2019, a Tennessee whiskey would have been considered a
long shot to be named Whisky Advocate's Whisky of the Year, but
this Dickel came barreling from behind with the poise and power to
impress our blind tasting panel," Whisky Advocate Executive Editor
Jeffrey Lindenmuth said. "All
whiskey lovers have reason to applaud George Dickel on hitting its stride."
In addition to the "Whisky of the Year" nod, George Dickel
Bottled in Bond earned a score of 95 (on a scale of 100) and the
designation of "Best Buy" from Wine Enthusiast Magazine
earlier this year. This whisky also took home a Gold
medal this spring at the San Francisco World Spirits
Competition.
George Dickel Bottle in Bond can
be enjoyed neat or on the rocks to realize the full flavor profile
but can also serve as a beautiful backbone to cocktails like the
Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
As we celebrate the holidays, your friends at Cascade Hollow
encourage you to sip the "Whisky of the Year" the same way it was
made – slowly and responsibly.
About George Dickel Tennessee Whisky
Back in the late 1800's, George
Dickel worked to fulfill his dream for crafting the
smoothest Tennessee Whisky around. Over a century later, we
continue to honor George's timeless values and
tradition. Legend has it that early on George
discovered that whisky made in the cold winter months tasted
smoother. Today we honor this tradition by chilling our
whisky before filtering it through sugar-maple charcoal so it's
mellow as moonlight just how George liked. For more
information, please visit www.GeorgeDickel.com and always
remember to drink responsibly.
