George Dickel

It was blended with bourbon and it was primarily rye that was being distilled then.

And Leopold Brothers did this, like, project with Dickel where they took Dickel whiskey and then their own Leopold three chamber rye, and it's awesome.

It's delicious.

Yeah.

So Prohibition went longer in Tennessee than it did in Kentucky.

But Jack Daniels and George Dickel both sit in dry counties.

So when Colonel Blanton had struck a deal to, uh, make medicinal whiskey and bring in this other whiskey from other locations and bottle it there, Schenley said, "Well, wait a minute.

What about that old building sitting over there next to the river that's vacant?" So they just moved Dickel up here, and we made D- uh, we made George Dickel whiskey at, uh, Buffalo Trace until 1958, and that's when they went back down to Tennessee.

So yeah, but that's, all that kind of stuff was going on.

There's a, there's a nice relationship between, uh, Buffalo Trace and the other surrounding distilleries, like Wild Turkey and some of those, because there were times when they needed each other.

Yeah, that was your...

And then after that, it's kind of like a sprinkle of scotch, Japanese, you had Nika in there, you had George Dickel 13 in there.

I find it very interesting.

So it really is across the board.

What it is, well, the only thing I've been eating lately-

Dickel's whiskey

... is the world's finest chocolate.

[laughs] Because I have so much of it.

Scotland is now also experiencing a whiskey glut.

Brown-Forman has announced the return of the 2026 King of Kentucky, and Lost Lantern is preparing to launch its highly anticipated George Dickel collection.

And before we get started, here's a quick word from our partners.

Let's get on with our last news story here, and that is Lost Lantern is launching its highly anticipated, which this is the first time I heard about it, so I don't know if it's highly anticipated yet or not.

[laughs]

The fall 2026 George Dickel collection, and that's gonna be happening on October 21st, and this is the company's first release dedicated entirely to a single heritage distillery.

So the collaboration highlights rare and previous unreleased styles of Tennessee whiskey.

So what do you bring for us? What I bring for you today is a very, very unique bourbon.

I don't know if you know about the George Dickel, the family.

I'm familiar.

Yep.

This right here is a vintage bottle, right? This bottle come from 1964.

It's a George Dickel Tennessee whiskey, right? The color is very good.

That's an

old dusty juice.

We were given bottles before this, but this was the one that caused us to buy one.

Um, George Dickel, nine year, um, their single barrel age, which the nine year.

And for you rebels out there, when you talk about the nine year, the nine year is always fantastic.

I've never had a bad one.

eagleware or elmer t lee

Okay.

And so the funny thing is bottle number two is the George Dickel nine year.

So I normally get a flavor off of Dickel.
