Leopold Bros 25th Anniversary "Foeder Series" Rye Whiskey
Leopold Bros is one of the most interesting and dedicated craft distillers in America and has unsurprisingly found a deliciously unique way to celebrate their 25th Anniversary. The Foeder Series is a blend of 5 year old Maryland Style rye and 8 year old Three Chamber rye which has been allowed to rest and marry inside a large wooden cask* before bottling without chill filtration at full proof of 110. The resulting whiskey features the rich stone fruit of the Maryland Style rye enriched and enhanced by the lavender, cocoa, and baking spices of the well-aged Three Chamber Rye. The result is another beautiful, rich, and special rye sure to be appreciated by American whiskey lovers.
*These large casks are called "foeders" in the beer world. Leopold Bros. got their French Oak foeder from their fellow Coloradans at New Belgium Brewing Co., makers of Fat Tire Ale among other beers.
