George Dickel X Leopold Brothers Collaboration Rye Whisky

A bold revival of pre-Prohibition rye tradition: this innovative blend joins George Dickel’s new column-still rye (distilled in-house at Cascade Hollow, Tennessee) with Leopold Brothers’ signature Three Chamber Rye. The result? A rich, layered, and drinkable rye that bridges heritage and craft 

🧪 Origin & Concept

• Crafted by Nicole Austin (George Dickel) and Todd Leopold (Leopold Bros), this rye resurrects the historic practice of blending heavy-bodied three-chamber still rye with lighter column-still whiskey 

• Bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV) and filled at Cascade Hollow—celebrating Dickel’s first internally distilled rye 

👃 Aromas

Lavender, rosewater, blackberries, caramel, and fig overlaid with citrus brightness (lemon/orange) lead into an elegant honey-vanilla sweetness 

👄 Palate

Silky and oily, driven by rich caramel, cream, floral sage, mint, and baking spices (cinnamon, vanilla), with herbal undercurrents pulling the sweetness into balance 

🔚 Finish

Long and warming: rye-spice crescendo, chai and nutmeg echoes, followed by lingering oak, cherry, cocoa, and honeyed cedar notes 

⭐ Why It Stands Out

• Innovative Legacy: Unearths the lost art of three-chamber‑plus‑column rye blending, creating complex yet balanced results 

• Critically Acclaimed: Earned Double Gold at the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and 95 pts at Ultimate Spirits Challenge 

• Sipper & Mixer: Rich texture and approachable proof make it equally suited for neat enjoyment or high-end cocktails.

In short: George Dickel × Leopold Bros Collaboration Rye is a masterfully balanced, historically inspired whirl of floral, fruity, herbal, and spicy character—all united in a layered, sippable strength bottle. Cheers to old traditions made new.

"George Dickel has teamed up with the Leopold Bros to produce an innovative rye whisky offering.The release blends George Dickel’s column still rye produced at Cascade Hallow Distillery with Leopold Bros’ Three Chamber Rye to recreate a historic style. This union between column distilled rye and Three Chamber distilled rye turns back the hands of time, returning to an era that saw heavy-bodied rye whisky served at bars and saloons throughout America. The Cascade Hollow component of this blend is a never-before released traditional column still rye."
