Distiller’s Background:

Founded in 1999 by brothers Todd and Scott Leopold, Leopold Bros. has become a pioneer of craft distilling in America, known for its meticulous approach, environmental stewardship, and innovation. Todd Leopolds 15-year pursuit to rebuild and operate a traditional Three Chamber Still has allowed the distillery to revive a lost style of American whiskey once favored by distillers like A.P. Stitzel. Today, the distillery in Denver, Colorado, continues to push boundaries while honoring history.

This release is more than just a whiskey; its a living piece of American history. With its rare still design, extended aging, and bold cask strength presentation, it captures the essence of pre-Prohibition craftsmanship while delivering a singularly rich and memorable tasting experience.
