Review: George Dickel X Leopold Bros, Collaboration Rye Whiskey

by Jeff Ellingson

George Dickel X Leopold Bros. Collaboration Rye Whiskey was recently released.  It is a collaboration of two of the most creative and dynamic Master Distillers in the industry today.  Todd Leopold and Nicole Austin of Cascade Hollow Distilling.  Here is what we know about this whiskey.  It is made with George Dickel never before released traditional column still rye.  Previous Dickel rye releases have been sourced from MGP of Indiana.  In the US rye whiskey is by law made from a mash of at least 51% rye, and that is what several ryes including Knob Creek Rye, Rittenhouse, and Jim Beam Rye are made from.  This George Dickel Rye is made from a 95% rye 5% malt mash bill.  It is blended with Leopold Bros. Three Chamber Rye.  For over a hundred years American rye whiskey was commonly produced in a three chamber still to extract not only distillate but also oils and aromas hidden in the grain.  Production of this style ended after World War II.  Leopold Bros. painstakingly re-engineered a three chamber still from old manuscripts.  It was built by Vendome Copper Brass Works.  Their rye is crafted from 80% Abruzzi rye grown on rye fields 25 mile north of the distillery and 20% malt, and not just any malt.  Leopold floor malts their own Colorado grown grains on-site at their distillery.  The spirit is barrel aged for 4 years.   The aroma leads with floral and fresh rye notes. Baked apple, oak, honey, malt, and oak follow.  Additional time brings out dark berry, caramel, and cocoa.  The sweet honey and cinnamon spiced apple entry is joined by blackberry and cocoa.  Toasted oak and rye arrive at the midpoint.  It fades with berry and vanilla and finishes with orange peel, fig, and malt leaving peppered dry oak, honey, and spicy rye taste.  On it’s own a single bottle of Leopold Bros. Three Chamber Rye has a MSRP of $250 and they only produced 5280 bottles.  This may put it out of the reach of most of our readers.  George Dickel does not currently sell their own produced rye in an individual bottle.  This is a great way to experience both.  Priced at $110 George Dickel X Leopold Bros. Collaboration Rye Whiskey is an affordable holiday splurge that will look as good sitting on the back of you home bar, as it tastes sitting on the top of your tongue.
