Leopold Bros. 5 Year Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon Whiskey
Leopold Bros. is the family distillery of brothers Todd and Scott Leopold in Denver, Colorado, known for reviving old American whiskey-making methods, including the three-chamber still behind its rye. This bourbon was released in September 2020 as a Bottled-in-Bond straight bourbon, meaning it comes from one distilling season at one distillery, aged in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof (50% ABV). The mash bill is 64% corn, 21% malted barley, and 15% Abruzzi heritage rye, and that barley share is unusually high for a bourbon. It was distilled on the Leopold Bros. pot still and aged five years in the distillery's dunnage-style bonded barrelhouse in Denver, where barrels are stacked low in the traditional way, then bottled without chill filtration. The distillery calls it a 100 proof callback to the unique traditions of American whiskey production, and reviewers point to grassiness, cinnamon, and oak. It's one of the few bonded bourbons from a craft distillery with a full five years in barrel. Taste it neat first, then try it in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan, where the full proof holds up.
