Cork Pop of the Year?! | George Dickel x Leopold Brothers Collaboration Rye Review

<p>Did they just make the Cork Pop of the Year on camera? Crystal and Roger crack open the George Dickel x Leopold Brothers Collaboration Blend — a marriage of George Dickel&#39;s Comb Steel Rye and Leopold Brothers&#39; Three Chamber Rye, coming in at 100 proof and $109. And they found it on sale. 👀This one surprised them both. Green apple on the nose. Smokiness on the palate. A chocolate and Earl Grey finish nobody saw coming. Roger called it an &quot;amalgamation of all the good things&quot; — Tennessee whiskey, rye, and a hint of something almost scotch-like. It checks boxes you didn&#39;t even know you had.This is a collaboration between two of the most respected names in American whiskey. Nicole Austin — the wizard behind George Dickel Bottled in Bond — and Todd Leopold, a James Beard Award nominee who has spent 25 years reviving pre-Prohibition spirits lost to history. When those two get together, you pay attention.Distilleries: George Dickel (Est. 1870, Tullahoma TN) x Leopold Brothers (Est. 2014, Denver CO)Style: Collaboration Blend — Comb Steel Rye + Three Chamber RyeProof: 100Price: $109 (found on sale — always check your local retailer)Rating Level: Intermediate⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 – Cork Pop of the Year Teaser01:10 – Welcome to The Liquor Connoisseur01:45 – What Is This Collaboration?
