The Latest George Dickel Bottled in Bond
Offering Wins Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits
Competition Before Hitting Shelves this May
TULLAHOMA, Tenn., May 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- In 2019, George Dickel made waves in the whisky
community with the debut of the George Dickel Bottled in Bond
series. The inaugural release earned the coveted "Whisky of the
Year Award" from Whisky Advocate and was the top–rated American
Whiskey of 2019 by Wine Enthusiast. From there, the series has only
continued to rack up awards with each subsequent release, including
the newest addition to the critically acclaimed series - George
Dickel Bottled in Bond Spring 2011, Aged 12 Years.
The fifth release of the highly-rated series, George Dickel
Bottled in Bond Spring 2011, Aged 12 Years, once again taps into
barrels from a spring distilling season, boasting notes of overripe
cherries, macadamia nut cookies and toasted oak. Building upon the
series' award-winning legacy, the new George Dickel Bottled in Bond
Spring 2011, Aged 12 Years was awarded Double Gold at this year's
San Francisco World Spirits Competition with a score of 96.
George Dickel Bottled in Bond Spring 2011 is a 12 year old
whisky that offers a bold and balanced profile highlighted by fruit
and nut notes, with a soft and velvety palate and lingering finish
of roasted nuts. Like the previous series offerings, this vintage
has been led by Director of George Dickel & Luxury Whiskey,
Nicole Austin, who continues to
build upon the legacy of innovation from the distillery while
showcasing the brand's commitment to making exceptional quality
whisky for a great value.
"Something that makes this series so special is that whisky fans
have the rare opportunity to try expertly crafted bottled in bond
offerings at a great price," said Austin. "If you're a fan of the
category, you know the designation requires the liquid to be from
just one distillation season, among other regulations. Our bottled
in bond offerings are a testament to the quality of our inventory
and the commitment at Cascade Hollow to consistently produce
outstanding whisky. I can't wait for both old and new fans of the
series to try it!"
At 100 proof, George Dickel Bottled in Bond is best enjoyed neat
or on the rocks and plays well in many classic cocktails like a
Perfect Manhattan, thoughtfully garnished with a cherry. Like the
preceding George Dickel Bottled in Bond releases, this edition has
a mash bill of 84% corn, 8% rye, 8% malted barley. It is chill
charcoal mellowed like the rest of the George Dickel portfolio,
creating a smooth and creamy mouthfeel for which the brand is best
known.
Starting this May, consumers 21+ can find George Dickel Bottled
in Bond Spring 2011, Aged 12 Years rolling out in stores near them
for a suggested retail price of $44.99.
As with all the whiskies in the George Dickel family, your
friends at Cascade Hollow encourage you to sip this new offering
the same way it's made – slowly and responsibly.
