LEOPOLD BROS. - 3 Chamber Rye - 9yo Cask Strength Bottling

Approximately 55% abv (The barrels were filled at 50% abv). It sounds like they will be creating two batches, each made up of combination of 4 barrels, and that there will be something in the range of 1,800 bottles released in total for this 9yo limited edition bottling.

From the Distillery: 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.  Originally used by famous American whiskey distillers like Jack Daniels and Stitzel-Weller, the Three Chamber Still made incredibly oily and intensely flavorful whiskeys before it fell out of fashion after Prohibition due to its lack of efficiency. In the 1960s, the Three Chamber Still disappeared completely until Todd contacted Vendome in Kentucky to construct the first iteration seen in the U.S. in over five decades. Working without a net, Todd followed the traditional American distillation practices he had researched for years—filling barrels at 50% ABV instead of 62.5%—to create the first Three Chamber rye whiskey produced in generations. This 9 year old limited cask strength release is not only the old Three Chamber rye we’ve released, but also the highest in proof. Having finally seen some evaporation in our dunnage warehouse, the ABV has slowly crept up and the flavors are more concentrated than ever. For those who still appreciate classic American craftsmanship, the Three Chamber rye whiskey is a step back in time to a golden age of distillation.
