LEOPOLD BROTHERS DENVER, COLORADO From Colorado’s somewhat mad yet uber-talented Leopold Brothers. Award-winning, all natural, hand-made spirits; from

an environmentally sustainable distillery. Michigan Tart Cherry Liqueur #171573 / 750ml / $30.00

Created from one-of-a-kind Montmorency cherries, Michigan Tart Cherry Liqueur brings something new to classic cocktails. While most cherries are categorized as sweet or tart, Montmorency cherries maintain a unique balance between the two, not found in any other varietal. A versatile liqueur for flavoring cocktails and cooking. Gold Medal, 91pts Beverage Testing Institute American Orange Liqueur #579867 / 750ml / $30.00 Leopold Bros. steeps Curaçao and Bergamot oranges in spirit, then distills them in a 40 gallon still, separating the clean citrus aromas from the bitterness inherent in the citrus pith. The distillate then rests in glass carboys, softening the flavors and relaxing the mouthfeel. It is sweetened with agave, but still drier than other orange liqueurs. We start by macerating and fermenting small Marasca cherries from Croatia and distill the resulting cherry mash. We add coriander and Montmorency cherry distillate and sweeten the blend with honey to create a soft, subtle liqueur with mild almond-like notes derived from the cherry pits. Rocky Mountain Blackberry Liqueur #811892 / 750ml / $30.00 Using blackberries from the RockyMountains, Leopold Bros. creates a rich, complex liqueur. The deep purple color is derived from the juice of the berries, not artificial additives. To preserve the integrity, the liqueur is bottled by hand. 90pts Beverage Testing Institute Maraschino Cherry Liqueur #373200 / 750ml / $30.00

95pts Beverage Testing Institute 3 Pins Alpine Herbal Liqueur #534642 / 750ml / $29.99

Using a blend of botanicals found throughout the Rocky Mountains, Leopold Bros. creates a complex herbal liqueur with warming spice and floral notes. Three Pins Alpine Herbal Liqueur derives its name from old style telemark ski bindings that were secured by exactly three pins, a nod to the traditions of the Rocky Mountains.
