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. 🥃

Recommended by my customer in Alabama. He said it's what they prefer drink in the South, rather than the more commercial local brands. — 10 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

Sinatra Select Tennessee Whiskey

Color of dark amber. Nose is mellow with oak, sweet baked apple, sweet pear, spice from alcohol, nice flavors eater, smooth bourbon, and nothing close to indicate she is 90 proof. Taste is waves of sweetness with spicy bourbon, milk chocolate, canyon, oak, concentrated, powerful, zesty, yet smooth. Very long finish with similar notes plus flowering note, and enjoyable. — 7 years ago

Arrington Vineyards

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

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. — 8 years ago
