My londan import od Dickel with diago sticka did not like. bad batch or quality drop or londan got crap stuff.

My old Dickel. No diago sticker tasted spot on dickel taste profile. Should I import another Dickel with londan and diago stickewr on it??? What about germany or japan?

where can I buy this in brisbane Australia? I ordered the 12 from uk over seas and I though the quality was off. Or maybe it was over aged in bad way.
Is there any online shop the ships to Austrailia. no usa does. I am after no 8 as I dont think no 12 is very good at moment. I have wasted countless bottles at local store. Might as well get something a want.

Is there anything similer to this in scotch or bourbon? I like the buttery oily corn. But hate big oaky bourbons i have bought. simply buying just oaky bourbons (e.g e craig 12, etc, etc) to replicate this dickel drink. also attemping in scotch. I also noted there's a chew and outstanding balance with the sour, corn, etc at play. and maybe a tobacco aroma too i loved. so much wasted.

I was able to take a trip to the Dickel Distillery last weekend and you can read all about it (along with pictures) at the Tiki Bar today:

Thanks, Patrick, for inspiring me to take the side-trip on the way home from Nashville…truly a fun place to visit.

IMO, Dickel's No. 12 is much better than Jack. I also think it's more like a NY strip than a bacon cheeseburger. But, then, I'm not a huge bourbon fan anyway.

One of my favorite drinks is George Dickel with a splash of Apple Cider, I call it a “Dick N Cider”!

Thanks for catching my error. Not sure how I confused a "2" with a "9" but the correction has been made.

Correction on the first paragraph: should be I-24, not I-94.

Otherwise, great article, Patrick. I have had Dickel's regular No. 8 several times and prefer it as a sippin' whisky to Jack Daniels…the problem I had when I lived in California was finding it. Now that I live in Tennessee, that's not a problem anymore! One of these days I'm going to get to that distillery for a tour, too. Actually, maybe I can do it Saturday on my way home from Nashville…something to think about!
