365 | Spirits | American, $20 to $50

Deep gold, with an amber cast. Medium bodied. Reminiscent of peach, apricot, almonds. Soft, smooth texture. Slightly round and lush on the palate. Pleasantly fruity, with engaging notes of nutty spice. Lively, persistent finish.

A classic from Jack Daniel's. Medium bodied. Reminiscent of citrus, honey, dried herbs, almonds. Moderately rich texture. Slightly tangy on the palate. While not overly herbaceous, there are ample fragrances as sensed in the country meadow.

"Sweet toffee, roasted nut, and brown spice aromas are inviting. A silky entry leads to a very supple, dryish medium-to-full body of rich caramelized nut and creme brulee flavors. Finishes with a long, warming fade of dark caramel, stony minerality, and tingling peppery spice. A wonderfully delicious and dangerously drinkable whisky with instant appeal to lovers of fine bourbon."

"Medium amber tint. Concentrated aromas of oak, ash and toasted grain are elegant yet profound; for me, it’s the prototypical Tennessee whisky bouquet. In the mouth, warm, roasted, ash- and tobacco-like flavors are scrumptious and intense. Oaky, grainy finish. The best bottling of George Dickel." 90-95 pts.

"A limited production American straight whiskey made with Kentucky Bourbon. Perfectly aged in charred white oak barrels and hand selected for its exceptional characteristics and golden amber color. The flavor signature is bold and unique much like Sam Houston himself. The aroma brings to mind hints of caramel and vanilla which combine with the rich smoky texture to form a perfect union. A smooth and distinctive whiskey in honor of a distinguished man."
