Overview

Overview

George Dickel Rye brings genuine spice with a smoother edge than most ryes manage. Built from a 95% rye mash bill, it gets the full peppery intensity rye drinkers are after, then goes through Dickel's signature chill and charcoal mellowing process, using sugar maple charcoal, to round it out without losing the bite.

Bold and spicy but still easy drinking, it's a rye that holds its own neat or in a cocktail without wearing you out.

What sets this bottle apart
Distillery Information

George Dickel built its name on the Tennessee whisky tradition of chilling the spirit before filtering it through sugar maple charcoal, a process that smooths out rough edges without stripping away character. Applying that same process to rye is what sets this bottle apart from the rest of the category.

The result is one of the few ryes that manages to be genuinely bold and genuinely smooth at the same time, rather than picking one over the other.
