Overview
George Dickel Barrel Select is a premium Tennessee whisky expression from Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. in Tullahoma, Tennessee. It sits above the classic No. 8 and No. 12 labels as a more carefully selected, richer expression of the George Dickel house style.
The brand is built around barrel selection and small-batch blending, giving drinkers a more polished version of Cascade Hollow’s charcoal-mellowed Tennessee whisky profile.
Brand History
Barrel Select became an important premium expression within the George Dickel lineup because it showed the brand’s ability to offer more depth and maturity without moving fully into limited-release territory. It serves as a bridge between standard George Dickel whisky and more enthusiast-focused releases such as Bottled in Bond or Single Barrel.
The expression has helped maintain George Dickel’s identity as a serious Tennessee whisky producer with both everyday and premium options.
