TULLAHOMA, Tenn., Nov. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Over the years,
Nicole Austin – General Manager and
Distiller at Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. – and Todd Leopold – Founder and Master Distiller at
Leopold Bros Distillery – have cultivated a mutual respect not only
as peers in the whisky industry but as friends. Fast-forward to
2021, when Todd shared a sample of their trademark Three Chamber
Rye with Nicole, he was looking for a partner to collaborate on a
new blend to challenge the status quo for rye offerings on the
market.

Dubbed the George Dickel x Leopold Bros Collaboration Blend,
this union perfectly balances two different styles of rye whisky:
Leopold Bros' celebrated Three
Chamber Rye and our George Dickel never-before-released traditional
column still rye. The result is a rare, historically inspired blend
of straight rye whiskies that is reminiscent of an era when
heavy-bodied rye whiskies were served at bars and saloons across
America.
"When you look back at official records for Three Chamber Rye
Whiskies, they weren't just sold as is, but they were also blended
together with column still whiskies," said Todd Leopold, Founder at Leopold Bros. "It
feels fitting our rare rye release combines this historic style
with something new from George Dickel. We hope whisky fans will
enjoy this take on an American classic and inspire the resurgence
of rare rye whisky."
"At the core of both George Dickel and Leopold Bros is a shared
spirit of commitment to producing quality and distinctly delightful
whisky," said Nicole Austin,
General Manager and Distiller at Cascade Hollow Distilling Co.
"I've been a personal fan of Leopold Bros for years, and it's why
I'm thrilled to collaborate with Todd and his team. I'm also
particularly excited this partnership will mark the first time
people will be able to enjoy a rye whisky distilled at Cascade
Hollow."
The George Dickel x Leopold Bros Collaboration Blend initially
boasts a floral nose of lavender, elderflower and rose balanced by
sweet hints of maple syrup, marshmallow and cocoa. On the palate,
rosewater, blackberries, caramel, lavender, fig and citrus are
present followed by a finish combining earl gray, honey and cocoa.
At 100 proof, fans can best enjoy this whisky neat or in a classic
cocktail like the Manhattan or
Whiskey Sour.
George Dickel x Leopold Bros Collaboration Blend is a highly
limited release, one whisky aficionados and collectors will want to
get ahold of when they see it. Starting this November, consumers
can find the George Dickel x Leopold Bros Collaboration Blend
rolling out in select markets across the US for a suggested retail
price of $109.99.
No matter how you choose to enjoy the George Dickel x Leopold
Bros Collaboration Blend, please remember to drink responsibly.
