LEOPOLD BROS. USA, COLORADO, DENVER Home to eight stills in five different styles, made by some of the finest craftsmen in the world. They are the first distillery in over fifty years to run distillations of a Three Chamber Still, a truly rare and unique piece of engineering and art. Leopold Bros. Aperitivo Liqueur 48PF / 750ML An all-natural, bitter aperitivo that uses real cochineal to color the liquid and brings a bolder, more bitter flavor. Sweet and bitter, with a citrus overlay, more earthy and floral than the others on the market. It mixes like a DREAM into a Negroni and works wonders in an Americano. If you think you’ve got the Negroni cocktail mastered, think again. Leopold Bros. Fernet Liqueur 80PF / 750ML A fantastic new Fernet Amaro. Loaded with spearmint packing a lovely bitter finish. The nose is complex, with layers of mint, cocoa nib, lavender, vanilla, and a hint of smoke. A palate of ginger, hops, bergamot, rose, and smoke make this cult Amaro worth diving into.
