Leopold Bros – Three Chamber Rye Whiskey 2022 (75cl, 50%)

Leopold Bros Three Chamber Rye is a single-barrel rye whiskey from the Leopold Bros distillery in Denver, Colorado, bottled at 50% ABV in a 750ml bottle. This 2022 summer release comes from barrels at least five years old, and each bottle carries its barrel number and fill date. The mash is 80% Abruzzi rye, a heritage grain the distillery grows itself, with 20% floor-malted barley, fermented for 168 hours. It is distilled on a rebuilt Three Chamber Still, a pre-Prohibition design reconstructed from antique manuscripts. The nose is deep and oily, with dark rye bread, cocoa, clove, orange peel and a trace of dill. The palate is full and chewy, with baking spice, molasses, dark fruit and honey. The finish is long, warming and distinctly spicy.
