George Dickel No. 8 Shortage
Sunday, December 16th, 2007 | Food & Drink |
From the AP via The Daily Times:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — One item may be missing from holiday parties this year: George Dickel Whisky No. 8. It’s scarce because the Dickel distillery shut down production from 1999 to 2003, trying to reduce inventory of the Tennessee sippin’ whiskey. It worked. And since whiskey must age, it’s too early for a new batch.
There’s some history of the brand in the article. I knew that Dickel, like Jack Daniels, was a Tennessee whiskey. I didn’t realize those were the only two Tennessee whiskeys on the market.

That’s sad news right here at Christmas party time!
Dickel is my favorite and a brand I use to judge a good bar for having! It is so much better than Jack with little or no bite. Actually, it’s so good that you can sip it straight - no mixer needed.
Hell yes. Dickel is better than JD and cheaper, too.

whoever decided to stop production of #8 is a fool its far superior to #12 i know liquor stores that cant give away #12 and cant get #8 i personally switched to wellers until #8 is back on the shelves
I am trying to find one of your george dickel whisky barrels that is empty, like the abc stores have.Do you sell these or give them to the public.
