About George Dickel:

George Dickel refers to both a German-American businessman, George Augustus Dickel (1818-1894), and the popular brand of Tennessee whiskey named in his honor, known for its smooth profile and distinctive charcoal-mellowing process, following Scottish tradition by dropping the ‘e’ in ‘whisky’. He started as a Nashville merchant and liquor wholesaler, eventually establishing the Geo. A. Dickel & Co. to distribute whisky, which later led to the creation of the Cascade Hollow Distillery, now owned by Diageo.

About the Man (George A. Dickel)

Business: He became a successful liquor retailer and then a major wholesaler, distributing whisky across the South.

Legacy: Though he preferred anonymity, his name became synonymous with the whisky brand he helped market, with the distillery eventually adopting his name.

About the Whisky (George Dickel Tennessee Whisky)

Tennessee Whisky: It’s a major producer of Tennessee whisky, following the Lincoln County Process.

Unique Process: Unlike many others, Dickel chills its whisky to 40°F before filtering it through sugar maple charcoal, creating a smoother, less acidic spirit, notes George Dickel.

Scottish Style: Following Scottish tradition, the brand spells it “whisky,” not “whiskey”.

Ownership: The brand is owned by Diageo, a global spirits company.

1870: the beginning

Learning from our heritage

Born 40 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, George A. Dickel was an established Nashville merchant when he entered the whisky business. Dickel grew his reputation for selling the smoothest, most mellow spirits in the region. Thus, Geo. A. Dickel & Co. was born and when the Cascade Hollow Distillery opened in 1878 in neighboring Coffee County, George Dickel bought a large share.

Born from a belief that whisky made in the winter months produced a mellower sip, our liquids were always chilled to 40 degrees before charcoal filtering for a smooth yet complex taste.

Since the very beginning, our unique spelling of ‘whisky’ without the ‘e’ speaks to the passion from which our brand was born. A drive to rethink American whiskey and elevate the experience to rival the world’s finest scotch whiskies. To this day, we continue the tradition of bringing new perspectives to our liquid legacy.
