Leopold Bros. is an independently owned distillery founded by brothers Todd and Scott Leopold. Founded in 1999 in An Arbor, MI, in the mid-2000s, Todd and Scott relocated Leopold Bros. operations from Michigan to their home state of Colorado to focus solely on distilling; they built their own distillery in 2014. They use only the highest quality ingredients from family farms and orchards like the rye fields located only twenty-five miles north of their distillery, the barley growing in Colorado's San Luis Valley, the Palisade peaches on Colorado's Western Slope, and more.
The Leopold Bros 8 year old cask strength Bourbon is not just the oldest whiskey we’ve released in our history, it’s also the highest in proof. At over 55% ABV, it has more punch and concentration than anything we’ve released previously. Todd put the resulting Bourbon back into freshly-dumped Three Chamber rye barrels and that extra maturation was just what this whiskey needed. Flavors of sweet grains and graham crackers, along with an oiliness from the viscosity of the rye whiskey finish, coat this whiskey like icing on a cake.
