Leopold Bros 9 Year Three Chamber Rye Whisky 109 Proof 750mL

 

• Distillery: Leopold Bros, based in Denver, Colorado. 

• Still: This expression is made using Leopold’s custom-built Three Chamber Still — a very old-style distillation apparatus, historically significant, and recreated by Leopold Bros. 

• Grain / Mash Bill: They use heritage Abruzzi rye (plus their floor-malted barley) for this whiskey. 

• Age: 9 years.

• Maturation: Aged in barrels (barreled at 50% ABV). The Denver climate / warehouse conditions naturally concentrate the whiskey over time.
