In this week's After Hours, we sip on George Dickel x Leopold Bros Collaboration Blend Rye. Join us!

All About George Dickel x Leopold Bros Collaboration Blend Rye:

George Dickel has teamed up with 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.
