While enjoying unique cocktails using George Dickel 8, 12 and Rye, guests also got a sneak peek at the new George Dickel reality show “Raising the Bar.”

Teams were assigned the challenge of building a bar that could accurately pour a shot of George Dickel in eight hours or less. Each episode features one of the teams as they attempt to beat the clock and complete the task, the series is now available on Hulu.
