George Dickel

[wmpevans]

I love Dickel. The first brown whiskey I came to love. I have a bottle of the 9 year which I like very much. Anyone had the 14 yr? I've heard good reports on some of the private barrelings.

I got bottles of the Liquor Barn 9 and 14 yr., and I thought the 14 was significantly better and worth the extra $20. I bought 3 more.

i LOVE the 9 year, but I just cant get myself to drop $70 for the 14......

The 9 is far better than the 14 anyhow, IMO.

If you like more oaky bourbons the 14 will be great to your palate. That great Dickel flavor with a ton of oak. The 9 year is closer to the regular Dickel 12 with more depth and oomph

I have access to the 14 yr in NJ at $70, and bought one. I enjoyed it, but wasn't blown away by my first taste. I haven't been able to go back to it again, but will surely do so in the next couple of weeks, as I think some airtime will do it good. Stores in NYC that had the 14 yr, like Park Avenue Liquors, sold out quickly at $90 a bottle. I believe my store in NJ is also getting in the 9 yr--looking forward to trying that as well.

exactly....a good description there. I give D12 a B, and the 9 year an easy A. I think I may even like the 9 year a hair more than the KCSB I love so much. Love the fullness and richness of the KCSB, but love the 'vitamin' aftertaste of the Dickel 9 year maybe a bit more. If Dickel released a 110 proofer, I dont think Id ever buy anything else again.

Any of you Atl members seeing the GD9 or 14 on the shelves yet? When ask about it with my dealers all I get is a dumb look.

I ran into some, but it was well outside of the city and only 1 bottle.

...If Dickel released a 110 proofer,..

The 14 yo is 106 proof, which is getting there. It's pretty good. Wood flavor comes through. Some bite from more than proof, but some days, that's a good thing. I'm glad more and more offerings of aged material is coming around.

I recently had a nice sized sample of the Dickel 14yo. and prior to that bought 2 bottles blind after good reviews and recommendations from friends. Although good, it's not in my wheelhouse but seems to be for others. Not sure my two bottles will get any love from me. :confused::confused:

On another post new member oknazevad mentioned a new introduction so I looked it up. George Dickel White Corn Whisky Foundation No. 1 Recipe will be available nationwide in Jan., 2014.

According to Master Distiller John Lunn, this expression will use the original Dickel mashbill (same one they've always used but not everybody knows that), go through the filtering process and be barreled at 91 proof (hear that Fox?) for nationwide release at a suggested retail of $21.99 a bottle.

The thought of squire leisurely perusing Baller Status gives me a good chuckle.

[squire]

Life's full of surprises, eh?

The mods should change your subnic to Ball So Hard U.

What a deal:bs:! Same basic proof but a buck more than D12, with no aging. Gee, how many can I get?

Soon, these distilleries are just gonna sell you a bottle with some grain and yeast in it. just add water, heat, and wait!

Wonder if all this unaged whiskey is being pushed to keep up with demand for whiskey aged or not?

But, but Fox, man, they raised the proof.

[393foureyedfox]

91 proof may be 'acceptable' by my tastes, but doesnt make my #&$^ hard.........

[squire]

Oh dear . . . you do have a point though, it's incongruous why new made whisky should cost more than one that has been aged for 5-8 years.

[Guest]

Not only does it not make sense, its just offensive, ok I get it, you only want my money but can you atleast pretend you like me, geez even a whore will do this, or so I have been told.

[ebo]

More money for white whiskey........................ I'll pass.

[squire]

Arguably it costs more to make today than 7-8 years ago, but I'm still disinclined to pay more for less.
