A meeting of the minds, as well as a mutual respect, led Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. General Manager and Distiller Nicole Austin and Leopold Bros Distillery Founder and Master Distiller Todd Leopold to create a new rye blend that challenges the status quo.
Dubbed the George Dickel x Leopold Bros Collaboration Blend, this union balances two different styles of rye whiskey: Leopold Bros’ celebrated Three Chamber Rye and George Dickel never-before-released traditional column still rye. The result is a historically inspired blend of straight rye whiskies that is reminiscent of an era when heavy-bodied rye whiskies were served 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.”
George Dickel x Leopold Bros Collaboration Blend is a limited release available now for $109.99.
