Mellow as Moonlight

George Dickel isn't a name you hear as often as his neighbor Jack, but maybe it should be. The guy was a German immigrant, a cobbler turned whiskey salesman, who landed in Nashville in the 1840s and decided limestone water was his whole personality. He never distilled a drop himself, but he staked everything on the quality of what came out of Cascade Hollow. His wife Augusta kept the whole thing running after he died, which is a chapter of the story that almost nobody tells.

Rob and Mark taste through the George Dickel 9 Year, dig into the cold mellowing process that separates Dickel from Jack, and somehow end up debating naps, ice houses, and who's going to buy Brown-Forman.
