VAGentleman Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Last nigh we did a cool tasting. We had all of the Dickel's one after another. We started with the white Dog #1, then did the Cascade Hollow, the #8, #12, 9 year old and 14 year old. It was really cool tasting how the whisky matured and how the oak and other flavors changed over the different ages. I can't think of another distillery that has the capability to follow along the same recipe in so many different ages. Fun stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Very cool indeed, what were the results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAGentleman Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Most people liked the 9 year old single barrel the best. I liked the oakiness of the 14. One person preferred regular #12. All thought it was cool to follow along as the distillate aged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiserhog Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Haven't been able to find the 9 and 14 yr old yet. Haven't seen it in NW Arkansas or SW Missouri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillman Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Tasting the regular No. 12 now. Much improved over the profile of the last dozen years. The vitamins flavour, so often remarked here, is much reduced and the drink is more complex and interesting. Buttery notes, vanillin, a winy quality. Really good. A few years ago, I had the chance to taste 1970s Dickel and this bottle reminds me of that. Keep it up Diageo. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
