George Dickel 12 year old Bottled in Bond (Distilled in Spring 2011), 50%

Ripe fresh melon, baking spice, fragrant and mellow oak, and cigar influence overlay the fruit. The palate is viscous and very tasty, with more cigar notes atop vanilla, melted caramel, and root beer. Superbly rich, gooey, and deliciously thick, with lots of depth and balanced spice. A long finish offers sweetness accented by pepper spice and aged oak bite, all in perfect harmony.
