How a Denver Distillery Uses a One-of-a-Kind Process to Make Their $250 Whiskey — Vendors

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video about mass distilling that goes this much into detail about how their fermentation techniques give specific flavors. Very interesting stuff

I’m french distiller. And this video is very nice. You can feel the passion in each of his words

I’m wondering if the tan Carhartt overalls worn by literally every employee shown in the video is the formal dress code or if everyone showed up wearing the same outfit on accident that day. Leopold Bros has always been one of my favorite treats but watching one of the founders speak so passionately and with so much authentic joy about his vocation absolutely warmed my heart in a different way.

I don't drink but this was beautifully shot and the people involved are obviously passionate and innovative. Very satisfying to learn about. Thanks!

I hope they send this outside of North America. Rye whiskey is really underappreciated and this looks like an amazing product

Thank you Jim Gaffigan the brew master

I work for Breakthru Bev in Denver and I believe we carry this! Nice to know the stories behind some of the cases I deliver daily

It is so awesome to see this. These guys got their start with a brewpub in Ann Arbor Michigan. It was a great spot and sadly they moved on to Colorado. But boy have they done it right! So glad I got to know you guys. I now have to make my way to Colorado.✌️

What fun to watch their process! I've sampled several Leopold Brothers' whiskeys and their Gin as well. Delish! I'd love to pay them a visit and smell all the processes: malting, boiling, fermenting and distilling! I just love the odor of whiskey dripping from a pot still!

Very nice video! We can see the passion and the knowledge, with superb filming and editing! Good job, I will definitely try to get my hands on a bottle for sure!

wonderful video, you can know that the owner loves his work and put some dedication to it

Very cool. I love these behind the scenes in places like this. Even though I don't like and don't drink whisky, it is still cool to watch.

Great video, thank you for sharing the process it was fascinating!

Amazing Video visually and a story I had not known about great piece guys!

Im a beer brewer and hobby distiller. The open fermentation is awesome for ester production. Same thing the Germans do with hefeweizen. Its cool to see they distill on grain vs beer where you need to seperate the water from the grain

Eater has improved so good! Great content always! 🙌🏼💯

Very interesting!!! I’m going to look for it at my local store!! Great episode!!!!

What a great business and craft! Tx for the insight.

I would imagine it’s an amazing place to work. When people are greatful to get to do the work, the results are always cutting edge and innovative. Not much of a drinker, but I am going to try to find a bottle.

Really good video.. thanks for posting! I enjoyed learning how they add value to Rye Whiskey.. from their own malt floors (neat !! about how the malt has to start growing), the drying of the malt, to the open fermentation vats with the added yeast, then it gets distilled using their custom 3 chamber still... then after that, the rye is aged in burnt casks to add flavor over time.. like a decade or two! Each step adds value and flavor but also cost. Those fermenting vats will also accrue flavors from past batches as well.. adding to the complexity of the taste. It's like their focus has been to take extraordinary effort to add value and flavor to the distilled spirit.. hence the low barrel count and the high bottle price. I was a Macallan scotch whiskey fan and own an unopened 25 y/o Macallan and an open and tasted 21 y/o Macallan. I used to be a very modest drinker.. enjoying a shot of aged fine whiskeys and/or craft beers occasionally (like maybe once a month)... but as per Drs recommendations, I stopped my minor beer and whiskey drinking all together about 5 yrs ago. When I tried the 21 y/o Macallan a yr ago, I could not finish the small shot I poured.. it tasted like great Macallan scotch but was way to overpowering for my now neophyte alcohol palate 😞 If that was NOT the case, then I would fork over the $$ to try this Rye Whiskey. Maybe I should wait and buy an aged bottle as an investment?
