55% ABV

Pot distilled, cask strength Bourbon that is both the oldest and the highest proof whiskey ever released by Leopold Bros. Aged for 8 years and made from a mash bill of 65% corn, 15% rye, and 20% of their own floor malted barley. Finished for 8 months in their Three Chamber Rye Whiskey barrels prior to bottling.

Producer notes:
While our 8 year old Bourbon had plenty of heat, that extra alcohol overpowered some of the sweetness we were hoping to taste, which led Todd to ask: “What if we threw this back into used Three Chamber Rye whiskey barrels for a few extra months?” It turns out that extra maturation was just what this whiskey needed, adding flavors of sweet grains and graham crackers as well as an oiliness from the viscosity of the whiskey still left in those casks. 

Coupled with the inherent flavors of candied apricot, and orange marmalade found regularly in our whiskies, the concentration of flavor on display in our 8 year old Bourbon is truly remarkable. We hope you enjoy its unique character as much as we do.
