Leopold Bros Description
Color: Dark Caramel (Almost mahogany)
Nose: After letting this settle in the glass for about 20 minutes, it starts off big and meaty, lots of strong umami flavors like BBQ burnt eds and rich maple sugar mixed with fresh cut pine. It does have a bit of that craft funk present – with the pot still distillation adding some rich orange and overripe fruit notes.
Palate: Wow – first sip takes you on a RIDE. Starting with waves of dark cherry hard candy, black pepper, and lots of charred oak. As it settles on the palate, more thick sweet molasses and green tea – with that pot still craft funk on full display. The mouthfeel is exceptional – with a thick viscous oily texture that sticks to the tongue and doesn’t let go. Definitely not what I would consider a “clean” whisky – this one brings some rich and flavorful funk!
Finish: Long and warming finish with lots of minty, sweet freshness. There’s an effervescence that layers on top of more rich dark treacle syrup that sticks with you for a lovely long and lingering finish.
