George Dickel x Leopold Bros Collaboration Blend (2021 Release)

For Castle and Cask

Nose is a very pleasant eye … bread notes with a touch of citrus. Not overwhelmingly but certainly not timid either. No trace of ethanol. On the taste, it’s a very muted taste and bit flat on this go around. First sip was not particularly great, but improved on the second and about the same on the third as the second. OVERALL I would say it’s a lot flatter than I would have expected as well as thinner too. I do get some nice warming in the chest which is always a plus. Hopefully, it will open up over time but for the MSRP this is a huge disappointment.

Medicinal nobody no pretty much anything just bland might as well just get some vodka

Just did a 4 way RYE blind with Sagamore 8, Pikesville, E.H. Taylor and this bottle. It didnt win like I expected it to (came in third) but still damn good! Oily and mouth coating with a long finish. Nothing normal for a rye nose IMO: spiced apple and chamomile. The flavor was herbal & floral, a real bouquet, also light rye spice and earthiness. An experience for sure, but I like a touch more fruit and sweet notes.
