George Dickel Distillery

George Dickel is Tennessee's oldest surviving distillery after Prohibition, established at Cascade Hollow in Tullahoma. The distillery uses the Lincoln County Process — charcoal mellowing in chill-filtered 40°F spirit — which they claim produces a smoother whisky (they spell it without the 'e'). The No. 12 Superior Grade is the flagship expression and Tennessee's most awarded whisky outside Jack Daniel's.

George Dickel No. 12 is the critical darling of Tennessee whisky — consistent 90+ scores from all major rating publications, and consistently cited by whisky experts as the superior quality alternative to the Jack Daniel's Black Label. A necessary inclusion in any serious spirits program.
