I've tried the really high end Scotches, Bourbons and all the over priced, snob appeal liqours over the years. But for absolute smoothness, delicious taste and aroma, I have found nothing better than this old time Tennessee Whiskey. Dickel No. 12 is, to me, the standard for smoothness and drinkability of all the world's whiskys. As a native Tennessean, I was attracted to my state's offerings while in college in the mid 1960s. I first tried Dickel then, and over the years, I have come back to it again and again when I just wanted a good whisky to enjoy. It has a sweetness and a mellowness that I have not found in any other whisky. If I could have but one whisky, Dickel No. 12 would be that whisky. There are a lot of good whiskys out there, but Dickel is my first choice, jand of the Dickels, No. 12 is the standard.

I bought the last 750 ml bottle of #12 today (for only $19 in change) at the local ABC Wine & Liquor in Boynton Beach, FL today. And I mean the very last as I was told that it wouldn't be stocked anymore. Tons of JD of course on their shelves and hardly anyone apparently knows that Dickel 12 is the real deal for a Tenn sour mash and at a higher ABV no less. The larger Total Wine & Liquor nearby stocks it but only at the 1.75L size. But for $33, guess it's a pretty good deal.

I'm not a heavy drinker, since a bottle will last me several months and I can go a couple of months between drinks. But when I DO feel in the mood, I usually reach for the Dickel. A glass of it satisfies me. It's all I ever need.
