"You think you know Dickel?"  Why? Because they're raising the bar in more ways than one and they came to San Francisco to show us. 8566728957_705ba0a0d6 At a recent event in San Francisco, Master Distiller John Lunn came to introduce one way they are raising the bar, by introducing George Dickel Rye Whisky. The new rye-based spirit is based on a 95% rye and 5% malted barley mash, which is chilled and then charcoal-filtered prior to aging for 5-6 years in new oak barrels. 8566727283_48e451690c
After arriving in New Orleans around midnight Wednesday night, we checked in and headed out for a drink. We are in New Orleans at Tales of the Cocktail after all.  We spent a few hours seeing friends and enjoying a couple of drinks but headed to bed around 3am in order to get ready for the first full day at Tales. 10:00 AM - Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey Tasting Event First stop of the day - a fun Irish Breakfast with entertainment, tasty food and of course tastings of Kilbeggan. An Irish Coffee and an Irish Breakfast Shot later we kissed the blarney stone and headed out.
