George Dickel No. 12 Whisky
Seller description: Medium amber tint. Concentrated aromas of oak, ash and toasted grain are elegant yet profound; for me, its the prototypical Tennessee whisky bouquet. In the mouth, warm, roasted, ash- and tobacco-like flavors are scrumptious and intense. Oaky, grainy finish.
My description: Damned tasty, damned affordable and a beautiful label to boot.

Rittenhouse Rye 100 Proof Whiskey
Seller’s description: Intensely woody aromas and succulent marshmallow, bakery and lanolin scents spring forth. The fat palate entry oozes butter cream, dark caramel, and brown sugar tastes; the midpalate focuses more on the grain aspect as the flavor becomes toasty, fruity and honeyed. Ends honey sweet, decadent and maple-like. An unbelievable bargain.
My description: Don’t let the subpar label fool you, Rittenhouse is one of the most delicious ryes on the market. Extremely spicy, and potent, one glass will leave you feeling warm all over.
