GIN

LEOPOLD BROS. DENVER, COLORADO Leopold Bros. relocated operations from Michigan to their home state of Colorado to focus solely on distilling. They included systems to create a zero-waste facility by recycling water, composting, and other methods. Plus, space to accommodate all their fermenters and stills. The site is home to Colorado’s first distillery malting floor and kiln, as well as a dunnage-style barrel house, a tasting room, and education center. The Leopold Bros. Distillery as it stands today opened in 2014. Leopold Bros. American Small-Batch Gin 80PF / 750ML Small batch distilled by brothers Scott & Todd Leopold. It is infused with more citrus and less juniper than typical gins. Each handcrafted batch is unique, yielding only fifty cases of an exceptionally complex yet subtle spirit. Gentler, softer, suppler, and more delicate than most gin... it’s beautiful, fresh, gracefully perfumed... and well worth a try. “#1 Best American Gin” Wall Street Journal Highly Recommended Beverage Testing Institute Leopold Bros. “Navy Strength” American Gin 114PF / 750ML This high-octane, full-throttle gin is loaded with herbaceous character and tons of bitter citrus peel. Even at 57%, it doesn’t feel over-proofed, but in total balance. This is not the standard Leopold formula with more alcohol. It’s an entirely new formula for people looking to make serious cocktails. Try it in a Tom Collins or gin and tonic and taste the wonderfully concentrated flavor. “Top 10 Spirits” Good Food Awards, 2013 92pts Beverage Testing Institute Leopold Bros. Summer Gin (Seasonal) 94PF / 750ML This bright, citrus-forward, vibrant gin truly captures the Summer season. By individually distilling the juniper berries, coriander, blood orange, lemon myrtle leaf, and Helichrysum angustifolium (known as ‘Immortal Flower’), we are able to highlight the truest expression of each ingredient, before blending it into the perfect spirit for a Tom Collins or Gimlet.
