Tennessee Homemade Wines

George Dickel

Superior No. 12 Brand 90 Proof Tennessee Sour Mash Whisky

There's a lot to like about this whisky. There's also quite a lot not to like. The intense vanilla, caramel, mocha flavors are delicious and sustain beautifully. However, there isn't the elegance or smoothness of a great whisky. Better than most large production options at a similar price point and a worthy addition to the home bar.

Thanks Trixie! There's a major Thornton Dial exhibition opening at the Met in NYC this spring. I'll be going for sure and might upgrade my whisky for that outing. 🥃

Original Tennessee Lager

When in NashVegas, start with the Tennessee lager. Light, easy drinking- one step up from Miller. I think. — 7 years ago

Tennessee Honey

I'm not a whiskey drinker, but when I do this is always my choice. The strength of whiskey is nicely balanced with honey, which you can definitely taste here! Perfect neat, or with ice or as a hot whiskey for cold weather. — 7 years ago

Barrel Select Tennesse Whisky

Home sweet home. A little nuttiness, lighter than a bourbon due to the charcoal filtration. Greener than most whiskeys for those who have a sweet tooth. — 11 years ago

This vintage, 2004 reserve, much like the 2011 but more mellow and very drinkable. Thoroughly enjoyed this Christmas Day 2016 with family and homemade Italian pork ragu with pasta, meatballs, bruschetta. — 7 years ago

Well, this vintage has turned a corner in the last six months, and the wine is starting to open up and lose some of its blocky edges. Classic cherry/roses/tannin/acid. I suppose the companion homemade tajarin didn't hurt... — 8 years ago

Antebellum Red Blend 2014

Who knew? A fantastic blend with notes of blackberries, cocoa and heavy baking spices. The flavors are highlighted by the Smokey whiskey flavors from 18 months in the barrel with the last 6 in a jack Daniels Tennessee sour mash barrel. Totally unique and surprisingly splendid. — 7 years ago
