Updated March 2026.
There is no official “best George Dickel.” The line is Tennessee whisky from Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. in Tullahoma. The Bottled in Bond page prints 100 proof (50% ABV). The 17 Year Reserve page prints 92 (46%). Dickel Bourbon prints 90 (45%). A 1.5-ounce bonded pour is 1.25 NIAAA drinks. No. 8 / No. 12 proofs are not reprinted from a fetched 2026 core tile here, read those necks. No mash % or 2026 ranking.
