Leopold Bros. Aperitivo Bianco

30% ABV

We love every single thing we've had from Distiller Todd Leopold's namesake brand. This is no exception. This is a bitter aperitivo in the mold of Suze/Salers/Luxardo Bianco with gentian as the bittering agent. The addition of marigolds and lemongrass give it a flavor that is quite distinct from it's competitors. This is the star of the show in the Negroni Bianco of your dreams.

Producer notes:
We start the process with individual distillations of marigolds, chamomile, and lemongrass. Those spirits are then blended for balance of flavor before we add gentian root for bitterness and allow it to steep. Finally, we add just enough cane sugar to create a harmony of fruitiness, herbaceousness, bitterness and sweetness, with a little more punch on the ABV at 30%.

What really sets our Bianco apart from others is the lemongrass, which adds a zesty citrus character alongside a savory element that gives the aperitivo tremendous depth. It shines in a white Negroni (as that was its initial purpose), yet it punches far above its weight in a simple spritz or highball. Rather than simply providing a balance of sweetness and bitterness, it reaches far out into the realm of fruity and floral, with a uniqueness of profile that stands out from the pack.

It's one of the most versatile spirits we've ever produced.
