This is Dickel's second bottled-in-bond release, distilled in 2008 and released at 11 years old. Bottled at 100 proof, it's a powerhouse of a whiskey, in terms of strength and flavor. Resounding caramel and toffee intertwine into a long, mouthwatering fade, accented with cinnamon sizzle and a hint of caramel apple. Mix into whiskey sours and other cocktails.

Though they do have a great deal in common, Tennessee Whiskey and Bourbon are not the same. While both must be made from a grain mash bill of at least 51% corn and then left to age in unused, charred white oak barrels, what makes Tennessee Whiskey special is the charcoal filtering process that occurs just before the new-make spirit is transferred to barrel. Known as the Lincoln County Process, this filtering strips off some of the harsher flavor notes, making Tennessee Whiskey smooth and approachable.
