Cork Pop of the Year?! | George Dickel x Leopold Brothers Collaboration Rye Review
Did they just make the Cork Pop of the Year on camera?
Inside the Episode
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's Comb Steel Rye and Leopold Brothers' 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 "amalgamation of all the good things" — Tennessee whiskey, rye, and a hint of something almost scotch-like. It checks boxes you didn'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)
