Talk:George Dickel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Dickel differs from Jack Daniels in the way it performs the Lincoln County Process (charcoal filtering). Jack Daniels drips the whiskey through a vat of sugar maple charcoal, George Dickel drips the whiskey into the vat and fills it to the brim to ensure use of all of the charcoal. The method Jack Daniels uses leaves much of the charcoal unused and some of the charcoal overused, because the dripping of the liquid tends to form channels.

Not to mention---Dickel is far superior to Jack Daniels.

Dickel also chills its whiskey before it goes into the charcoal. Daniels does not.Cowdery 18:21, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bottling

I didn't change the main text because I don't have anything to cite to, but I know that George Dickel is no longer being bottled in Louisville. I don't know where Diageo is bottling it now. It may even be back in Tennessee, but the statement that it is bottled in Louisville (presumably at Stitzel-Weller, which Diageo still owns) is incorrect as the bottling line at the Louisville facility was removed approximately ten years ago.Cowdery 18:21, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
