Leopold Bros Three Chamber Rye Whiskey

Aromas of hay, fresh threshed rye, dill tops, and oak spice. The palate starts of soft & builds quickly to a honeyed/dill pickle. This is sweet savory with light toasted oak spice. D&M Tasting Notes

Tasting pre-Prohibition rye is an unforgettable experience. Not just for the history-in-a-glass aspect—although drinking anything made more than a century ago is pretty amazing—but because today’s rye simply doesn’t taste the same. In addition to the characteristic spice, there’s a rich, honey-like sweetness on the palate, as well as delicate floral aromas that are both delicious and revelatory for 21st century whiskey drinkers. But to a whiskey drinker from the time of the Taft administration, this was simply what rye smelled and tasted like. Hardcore whiskey fans of today are willing to chase that quality.

Three Chamber Rye is bottled in bond, meaning it was all distilled at the same distillery in one six-month distilling season; aged in a bonded federal warehouse for at least four years; and bottled at exactly 50 percent ABV.

For over a hundred years, American rye whiskey was commonly produced in what was called a Three Chamber Still to extract not only distillate, but also oils and aromas hidden in the grains. The resulting spirit was marketed as “heavy-bodied” whiskey, but production stopped just after World War II and the still in which it was made became a lost American tradition. Leopold Bros. painstakingly re-engineered a Three Chamber Still from old manuscripts and grew the heritage grain Abruzzi rye that was favored by

Pre-Prohibition distillers to resurrect this one-of-a-kind whiskey. The Collector’s Edition is the first bottling of our Three Chamber Rye Whiskey and is hand-signed and numbered by Todd Leopold. Only 5,280 bottles of this unique first bottling will ever be produced. We hope you enjoy this rebirth of an American classic as much as we enjoyed making it. From our family to yours. --The Leopold Bros.
