Product Overview
Light amber in color, the Dickel Rye has a spicy nose with oak, cinnamon, rye, caramel, and an undertone of dark cherry. The oak is pretty dominant in the nose, but not unpleasantly so. The entry of Dickel is softer than the nose, with vanilla, caramel, and cinnamon leading the charge. The oak spice from the nose does quickly emerge in the midplate and while it's joined by a rye spice, the oak really dominates. Toward the end of the midpalate there's a fairly sharp oak spice spike that's unexpected from a category of whisky known to be easy. The oak spice, along with a lingering caramel, define the finish which is quite dry and fairly singular.
