Leopold Bros. Bottled in Bond 5 Year Old Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a distinguished offering from Colorado’s revered distillery, where meticulous craftsmanship reigns supreme. This bourbon is a testament to the distillery's commitment to traditional methods, from open fermentation with both house-cultured and indigenous yeast strains to pot distillation. Aged for five years in new American white oak charred barrels, this whiskey exhibits a deep amber hue, indicative of its careful maturation and the rich character it has absorbed from the wood.
The mashbill is a carefully curated blend of 64% corn, 21% malted barley, and 15% Abruzzi heritage rye, all sourced from Colorado. This unique combination imparts an intriguing depth to the flavor profile, where the roasted, chocolatey nuances of the barley harmoniously intertwine with the spiciness of the rye. Each sip is an exploration of complex flavors that evoke the essence of the region, making it a delightful companion for both casual sipping and sophisticated cocktails.
