Leopold Bros 9 Year Old Three Chamber Cask Strength Rye Whiskey

A masterclass in historic craft, Leopold Bros’ 9 Year Old Three Chamber Cask Strength Rye revives the pre-Prohibition three-chamber still technique to produce a whiskey that’s richly textural, boldly flavored, and unapologetically rye.

Distilled from heritage Abruzzi rye and matured for nine years in Colorado’s altitude-rich climate, the spirit emerges at cask strength (approx. 54-56% ABV) — the highest proof offered yet in the Three Chamber series.

On the nose, you’ll find caramelised grain, peanut shell, brown sugar, orchard fruit, and heady floral hints like lavender and elderflower drawn from the unique still style. The palate unfolds with dense layers of toasted rye bread, dark chocolate, dried cherries, cinnamon bark, and subtle smoke — full-bodied, yet nuanced. The finish lingers long, with notes of spicy rye warmth, oak tannin, gentle florals, and rich baked fruit.

This is not just a rye — it’s a journey back in time with modern precision. Ideal for collectors and rye enthusiasts seeking depth, provenance, and character.

Nose: Caramelised grain, peanut shell, brown sugar, orchard fruit, lavender & elderflower.

Palate: Toasted rye bread, dark chocolate, dried cherries, cinnamon bark, subtle smoke.

Finish: Long and warming — oak tannin, rye-spice, baked fruit, floral echo.

Pair with dark-chocolate almond bark or cherry-orange macaroons to mirror the fruit and chocolate notes. A smoked pork loin with apricot glaze brings out the dried-fruit and rye rye-bread character beautifully. For cheese, reach for aged Gouda or smoked cheddar to match the spice and oak presence without overpowering it.
