Cascade Hollow Distilling Co has unveiled a new whiskey from its hallowed Fall 2008 barrels, George Dickel Bottled in Bond Fall 2008, Aged 13 Years. The original release from Fall 2008, the second in the brand’s Bottled in Bond series, was an 11-year-old vintage that ended up picking up Double Gold at the San Francisco spirits competition everyone goes on about.
George Dickel Bottled in Bond Fall 2008, Aged 13 Years features a combination of lots that have matured for an additional two years. Consistent with previous George Dickel Bottled in Bond releases, this edition has a mash bill of 84% corn, 8% rye, and 8% malted barley. It is chill charcoal mellowed like the rest of the George Dickel portfolio to create “a smooth and creamy mouthfeel for which the brand is best known,” says a press release.
The release sees Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. General Manager & Distiller Nicole Austin continuing George Dickel’s commitment to transparency and authenticity by releasing the fourth offering in the brand’s Bottled in Bond Series. Each year, Austin’s distilling process begins with a blind tasting, and this year, she was once again drawn to barrels from distilling season Fall 2008. The latest bottling features a combination of lots that have matured for an additional two years, which offers whisky drinkers the best balance of bold complexity since first being considered two years ago.
Similar to previous releases, the new George Dickel Bottled in Bond is a 13 year old whisky that offers a profile that’s dominated by fruit and nut notes, with an inviting nose of bright fresh cherry, cedar and almond and structured oak finish. Bottled at 50% ABV, George Dickel Bottled in Bond Fall 2008, Aged 13 Years is recommended to be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a classic cocktail like a Perfect Manhattan.
“Since its first inception, I’ve been proud to work on the George Dickel Bottled in Bond Series as it’s a lineup defined by credibility and transparency. While each new release has had their subtle differences, they’ve overall shared the same hallmark traits as well as consistently offered whisky drinkers a quality Bottled in Bond option at an approachable price point,” said Austin. “Whether you’re a longstanding fan of the series or just now finding it, we hope that you’re able to enjoy this new offering from the George Dickel Bottled in Bond Series.”
