Leopold Bros. in Denver, Colorado is one of the most technically ambitious craft distilleries in America founded by brothers Todd and Scott Leopold, who have dedicated themselves to reviving historic American whiskey styles with obsessive attention to detail. Their Maryland Style Rye is a painstaking recreation of the pre-Prohibition Maryland rye tradition, a style that was once distinct from Pennsylvania and Kentucky rye but nearly vanished after Prohibition.

Using a three-chamber still a historic piece of equipment that Leopold Bros. had custom-built and a mash bill of malted rye, corn, and malted barley, this expression captures the softer, more approachable character that defined Maryland rye before it disappeared from the American whiskey landscape.
