George Dickel No. 12

Tennessee Whisky
Purchase Price: $22
Place of Purchase: Warehouse - New York, NY

Rating: 8.3

Fire in the hole! Pie-hole that is…one of my favorite all time whiskies but please don't call it bourbon, as some people like to. It's Tennessee whisky (minus the ‘e’—just like they do in Scotland!) and this is the best they make. Rambunctious, fiery, it's damn near guaranteed to slap an "ugly face" on your mug the first time you drink it. But given time it will become a trusted friend. There is only one other Tennessee whisky on the market and that brand was once immortalized in the form of a bass guitar played by Michael Anthony. This is better. I even have a George Dickel T-shirt I wear with pride to places like church and the Mars bar.
