Leopold Bros. 5 Yr. Bottled in Bond Bourbon

Wow, there is quite a bit going on in this first release of Leopold's Bottled in Bond. The nose shows an aroma set of watermelon, peppermint, fresh cut wood, soft caramel, and a cooling cucumber water. This is pleasantly different from industrial Kentucky with a soft flavor set of caramel, watermelon and cucumber, spice, and fresh wood. Well done Leopold's!  D&M Tasting Notes 64% Corn, 21% Two-Row Barley, floor malted on-site at Leopold Bros., and a touch of various brewers' malts, 15% Abruzzi Heritage Rye

Open fermentation in wooden tanks with both house-cultured and indigenous yeast strains. Pot distilled and unfiltered.  Aged five years in new American white oak charred barrels on earthen floors in the distillery's unheated dunnage-style bonded warehouse.
