George Dickel Tennessee Whisky

We came to visit from PA and of course our first instinct was to go to Jack Daniels distillery. Our friends that have moved to Nashville suggested we go to a smaller distillery called George Dickel. We figured, why not! They must know better since they live in the area. I’m so glad we chose to go to George Dickel. What an amazing tour, with friendly staff. Our tour guide’s name was Deanna and she was so friendly and knowledgable, she really gave us a one of a kind tour. The waiting room that was also a little museum, had the coolest artifacts. Everything was awesome to see, the smells were amazing and the best thing was, it was FREE! Once the the tour was over, you had the option to do a $ 10 tasting. We ended up buying a few single barrel whisky a, the whisky was AMAZING! I would highly recommend this tour to anybody visiting Nashville. I no longer drink Jack Daniels, I only drink George Dickel.

Very interesting tour — Julie was an awesome guide & very informed. A variety of sights & smells as we learned about the distilling process.

Great operation with a range of fine Tennessee Whisky products. Yes that is the proper spelling for Whisky at George Dickel’s. Stop in and take the tasting tour, I thought it was fun and educational, as well as affording a chance to appreciate the quality of their hand crafted spirits.
Do stop in if you are nearby or passing through.

Visited on a Tuesday in November. I went on the complementary tour. Our tour group included three visitors andone tour guide. The tour was great, as our guide was very knowledgeable. She knew just what to highlight about Dickels process. The tour involved walking about 20 minutes total, and going up and down at least 2 flights of stairs. Since Diageo bought them, almost all bottling is done off site, which was a let down.
After the free tour, you can do a tasting for $ 11 which includes samples of each product that is made. The staff was again well informed and happy to answer questions about the process and differences between variety of spirits.
Bottles are avaliable for purchase, but they did not have any that were only avaliable at the distillery. That was a let down. I wanted to buy a unique bottle.
Overall, it was a good experience, and i would happily return!

This smaller scale distillery is located in Cascade Hollow and is off the beaten path. I am not surprised by the lack of reviews as there is no cell service or internet around the distillery. GPS doesn’t have you arrive at your destination either… close, but you will get there because there is only one road to the distillery. That said, we found it to be worth the effort.
The area surrounding the distillery is just beautiful. They offer different types of tours, although we did not go on one. We did walk around the historic distillery and of course visit the gift shop. If you purchase a bottle from the hand selected barrel, you can autograph the «barrel.» What good Whisky loving narcissist doesn’t want to do that? My signature says it all!
