George Dickel X Leopold Bros Collaboration Blend Rye Whiskey (750 ml)

Description

George A. Dickel was a successful merchant in Nashville, TN when he entered the whisky business in 1816. Preferring to craft his whisky in the winter months rather than the summer months, Dickel believed the result was smoother and began advertising their whisky as "Mellow as Moonlight". After he perfected his whisky, his reputation for the smoothest, most mellow spirit in the region grew in the region. George A. Dickel and Co. honor their Scottish roots, even spelling whisky without the letter "e". Each whisky is chilled before it goes through a charcoal-mellow filtration in Lincoln County Press. A collaboration between George Dickel and the Leopold Bros brings you a blended Rye Whiskey. This limited edition release blends George Dickel’s column still rye produced at Cascade Hollow Distillery and the Leopold Bros’ Three Chamber Rye. Heavy-bodied, this rye whiskey harkens back to an era where this type of whiskey was served in saloons and bars throughout the USA. This caramel-colored rye is rich with aromas of nutmeg, dark fruits, apples and spice. The palate is medium to full bodied and warm with juicy orchard fruits, oak, caramel, citrus, vanilla and intense rye spice with light notes of vanilla and chocolate. The finish is long and spicy, with a balancing sweet honey fading into oak.
