Beverages
Leopold Bros. - New York Apple Whiskey
Flavored Whiskey
Leopold Bros. Distillery
The best apple varieties are picked, juiced, and blended with our whiskey, creating a supple and warm spirit. The apples oxidize in charred American oak barrels, where notes of dried fruit, apricots and raisins are developed. The spirit is naturally colored by the barrel and apple juice used, and not by artificial coloring agents. Lastly, it is bottled by hand to maintain the integrity of the tart apples, and round caramel finish.
Leopold Bros. - Rocky Mountain Blackberry Whiskey
Flavored Whiskey
Leopold Bros. Distillery
The finest blackberries from the Rocky Mountain region are harvested over the summer, juiced, and blended with our whiskey, creating an intensely rich spirit. The whiskey rests in charred American barrels, where notes of vanilla, raisin, and oak are pulled from the barrel itself, flavoring the whiskey. The spirit is naturally colored by the barrel and blackberry juice used, without the aid of artificial coloring agents. Lastly, it is bottled by hand to maintain the integrity of the sweet blackberries and soft finish.
Leopold Bros. - Rocky Mtn. Peach Whiskey
American Whiskey
Leopold Bros. Distillery
We start by de-stoning and macerating famous Colorado Palisade peaches, then strain and juice the peaches and blend the result with our whiskey. Later, we rest the whiskey in charred American oak barrels, where notes of vanilla, raisin, and oak are pulled from the barrel itself. The spirit is naturally colored by the barrel and peach juice, without the aid of artificial coloring agents. Lastly, we bottle the finished whiskey by hand to maintain the integrity of the caramelized peach finish.
Leopold Bros. Absinthe Verte
Absinthe130° (65%)
Leopold Bros. Distillery
Our Absinthe Verte is produced following the traditions of 19th Century European master distillers. That means we start with a grape distilliate base (in our case, this means imported Chilean Pisco) and add the required ingredients to constitute absinthe: anise seed, fennel, and grande wormwood. Other botanicals are also added to our small batch copper pot still. Following distillation of this blend, we naturally color the result by steeping the distillate in coloring herbs such as lemon balm and hyssop. The result is a brilliantly emerald green spirit that is the perfect touch for classic cocktails such as The Sazerac.
Leopold Bros. American Orange Liqueur
Fruit Liqueur80° (40%)
Leopold Bros. Distillery
Leopold Bros. steeps Curaçao and Bergamot oranges in spirit, then carefully distills the oranges in a forty gallon copper pot still, separating the clean citrus aromas from the bitterness that is inherent in the citrus pith. The resulting distillate rests in glass carboys, which softens the flavors and relaxes the mouthfeel. The liqueur is then sweetened with agave, but remains drier than other orange liqueurs. The Belgian candy sugar gives it a bit of a lasting confectioner’s finish. Leopold Bros. American Orange enlivens spirits of all varieties from whiskey, to tequila, to fernet, to gin, and more.
Leopold Bros. Distillery Maryland-Style Rye Whiskey
American Rye Whiskey86° (43%)
Leopold Bros. Distillery
Pre-Prohibition American rye whiskey involved two different styles. The first, Pennslyvania rye (known sometimes as Monongahela-style) is generally spicy, dry, and heavily oaked. Maryland rye, by contrast, is fruity, floral, and less aggressive. Leopold Bros. Maryland-Style Rye Whiskey achieves this unique flavor profile by hand selecting a variety of yeast strains to use in our fermentation process, paying homage to a lost style of whiskey that hasn’t been distilled in the United States in decades. In keeping with tradition, the rye whiskey is barreled at 98 proof, enabling the flavors to develop in our charred American oak barrels.
Leopold Bros. Michigan Cherry
American Whiskey80° (40%)
Leopold Bros. Distillery
Before Prohibition, many American distillers added small amounts of fruit juices to sweeten the whiskey as it aged in wooden barrels. We revive this classic style of whiskey production by juicing world-renowned Montmorency tart cherries from Michigan, and blending the juice with our whiskey. The spirit then rests in our used bourbon barrels, giving the flavors time to marry and mature while drawing out notes of vanilla, marzipan, and spice from the barrels. Like all Leopold Bros. spirits, this is bottled by hand, to preserve the bright cherry flavor, full burgundy color, and soft whiskey finish.
Leopold Bros. Navy Strength Gin
Contemporary Gin114° (57%)
Leopold Bros. Distillery
When making a version of this maritime classic, we distill each component, including juniper and Bergamot, individually before bringing them together, creating a bold, and aromatic gin that will shine in any mixed drink. The term navy strength was bestowed by the British Royal Navy only on those gins high enough in proof to still render gunpowder flammable should it be drenched by the spirit. Today, the hearty flavor and higher proof makes this an American gin that does not get lost in a Gin & Tonic.
Leopold Bros. Peach Liqueur
Fruit Liqueur40° (20%)
Leopold Bros. Distillery
We use a variety of peaches from the Western Slope of Colorado, and blend it with our eaux-de-vie and cane sugar to bring out the rich, peach flavor.
Leopold Bros. Rocky Mountain Blackberry Liqueur
Fruit Liqueur40° (20%)
Leopold Bros. Distillery
Using blackberries from the northwestern region of the Rocky Mountains, Leopold Bros. creates a rich and complex liqueur that can be used in cocktails, as a digestive, and even in cooking. The deep purple color is derived from the juice of the blackberries themselves rather than food coloring or artificial additives. To preserve the integrity of the spirit, Leopold Bros. bottles the liqueur by hand.
Leopold Bros. Straight Bourbon Whiskey Davidsons Single Barrel Store Pick
Straight Bourbon Whiskey100° (50%)
Leopold Bros. Distillery
Leopold Bros. Three Pins Alpine Herbal Liqueur
Herbal Liqueur70° (35%)
Leopold Bros. Distillery
Traditionally, distillers in mountainous regions forage their local valleys and forests for the herbs, roots, and flowers to produce herbal liqueurs. Leopold Bros. uses a blend of botanicals found throughout the Rocky Mountains to create a complex herbal liqueur with warming spice and floral notes. Three Pins Alpine Herbal Liqueur derives its name from old fashioned telemark ski bindings that were secured by exactly three pins, and thus is intended as a nod to the traditions of the Rocky Mountains.
