What can you say about Leopold Brothers Distillery except amazing! When I first heard about these guys and their infused whiskeys I thought, great some more foofy crap aimed at highschool kids. Boy was I wrong! Tom Leopold is the master distiller who handcrafts each and every one of the unique liquors that Leopold Brothers offer. The first one I tried was the blackberry flavored whiskey ($34.99 750ml). I was surprised at the how pronounced the blackberries tasted upfront with the whiskey kicking in pleasantly afterwards. The apple flavored had much the same effect. It was like drinking whiskey flavored apple pie. These whiskeys don't need any kind of mixer except saliva, but one or two ice cubes in a rocks glass isn't a bad idea. They also produce a rocky mountain peach whiskey and a Georgia peach whiskey, unfortunately I have not tried this as of yet, but I will as soon as I get the chance. They didn't stop with just whiskey though. They also distill absinthe(yes the real kind, $71.99 750ml), gin, vodka, dark rum, and a plethora of liquers (cherry, apple, herbal $21.49 375ml). Anyone interested in these awesome Colorado products should check out their website www.leopoldbros.com for the whole rundown of liquors and the story behind them. It's very interesting!
