What Defines This Bottle
Age
This bottle carries no single stated age. Federal labeling rules only require an age statement when a whiskey is younger than 4 years, so a bottle without one may be genuinely young or simply old enough that stating it became optional.
Does No Age Statement Mean It's Young? →Production Details
Disclosed production notes from Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. (George Dickel) -- structured, sourced facts, not a tasting review.
- Water Source
- Sourced from Cascade Springs, a natural cold limestone spring flowing directly through Cascade Hollow.
- Cooperage
- Charred New American White Oak barrels manufactured with #4 char staves and #2 char heads.
- Warehouse Notes
- Unlike multi-story Kentucky warehouses that experience dramatic vertical heat stratification, Dickel's barrels age horizontally in single-story, tin-clad rickhouses situated in a natural hollow, resulting in even, gradual maturation and moderate evaporation.
