FWIU it was before national prohibition and after TN prohibition.

When Dickel was kicked out of Tennessee in 1910 they moved to Stitzel-Weller in Louisville, where they even installed charcoal vats. After Prohibition, the Shwab family sold it to Schenley, which made a George Dickel Bourbon at what is now Buffalo Trace. There was no special still, nor any charcoal vats, it was their standard bourbon. In the 1950s, when Schenley was an unsuccessful bidder for Jack Daniel's, the company decided to repatriate its own Tennessee Whiskey, building a new distillery in Cascade Hollow.

Any word on a release date???????? I'm supposed to have a bottle on reserve at the liquor store of a friend of a friend and need to have the wife go get it before it disappears.
