George Dickel
1870 Sour
Unexpected flavor combinations of whiskey, maple syrup, blueberry and wine create a one-of-a-kind cocktail.
The George Dickel 1870 Sour is a bold reimagining of the classic whiskey sour. Tennessee whisky meets the earthy sweetness of maple syrup and the tartness of fresh blueberries, finished with a dramatic red wine float that makes it as beautiful as it is delicious.
Shake it hard, strain it clean, and take your time with that wine float. The layered colors alone are worth the extra 10 seconds.
