Leopold Bros. is an independently owned distillery founded by brothers Todd and Scott Leopold. In the mid-2000s, Todd and Scott relocated Leopold Bros. operations from Michigan to their home state of Colorado to focus solely on distilling. Several years later, Todd and Scott purchased four acres of nearby land to build out their ideal distillery, including systems to create a zero-waste facility by recycling water, composting, and other methods. In addition a larger space to accommodate all their fermenters and stills, the site would also be home to Colorado's first distillery malting floor and kiln, as well as a dunnage-style barrelhouse, a tasting room, and education center. Todd and Scott pride themselves on using only the best grains, fruits, botanicals, herbs, and spices. They never use flavoring agents, artificial flavors or colors, glycol, glycerin, or high fructose corn syrup.
