Review of George Dickel Tennessee Sour Mash Whisky No 8

Tonight's review is of George Dickel Tennessee Sour Mash No8. It was the only version of this brand my grocer had for sale. I wonder if the No8 is just a gimmick or if they had to go through 7 versions of crap before they got to this. 

Method: Neat 

Alcohol Content: 40%

Cost: 20ish. Can't remember. 

Color: Like gold and rust mixed together. 

Nose: Mellow. It doesn't really smell like much of anything except slightly like sugar. 

Taste: Again mellow, light burn but hardly anything for a whisky. Maybe a very light apple. 

Finish: Burn is more on the lips than the tongue. Mellow finish. 

Notes: So this is okay. If  you wanted someone to get a taste for a basic whisky this is it. It doesn't have a strong flavor of anything at all and is pretty good. But there is a lot better stuff out there for if you're wanting to drink it neat. I mean, don't get me wrong...this is fine neat. But my preference would be for something with a little stronger flavor notes on the taste and finish. But this would be perfect for cooking or cocktails. 

Try it if you get a chance. But don't drive cross country for it. 

Anyways. Today is Aaron's birthday so wish him well!
