Ambear Report post Posted September 16, 2011 I've been going CRAZY over blackberries this year for some reason. It seems to be the popular fruit in our local cocktail joints as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AiO Report post Posted September 16, 2011 I want to be tryin' some of that maraschino. +1 big time. I've been going CRAZY over blackberries this year for some reason. It seems to be the popular fruit in our local cocktail joints as well. If you haven't tried a Bramble, I'm betting you'll enjoy one. Using a good creme de mure is essential. If you have some of that tasty Rocky Mountain Blackberry Liqueur, you're in good shape. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leopold Report post Posted September 16, 2011 Or the CherryOr the Blackberry Or the Three Pins Or what-ever-the-hell-else-I-have! Oh, the humanity! Sounds like a good excuse to put together a Summer-ending punch, and invite some folks over. BTW, drop those in the fridge after you open them, and they'll last about a year with very little degradation. Good to hear you're busy, Joe! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Griffin Report post Posted January 8, 2012 Does anyone know if any stores outside of out west ship Leopold's? I'm running dry in another glass or two. It's one of the best American absinthes, and I want to continue to support them. Thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crow Report post Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) Try Hi-Time Wine Cellars. I've never ordered from them before but they have a pretty good selection and they do sell Leopold's. I was looking for a vendor where I could get ALL my favorites or wish list items at one spot, but they don't sell the Ridges, the DPs or even Pacifique! Oops, sorry! You said NOT out west, didn't you. This place is in CA. Edited January 8, 2012 by crow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Robinson Report post Posted January 8, 2012 Screw the absinthe*, the Fernet Leopold is my new drink of choice. And I can't wait to try the Naval Strength gin! Started experimenting with the Maraschino and the Orange liqueur this weekend too. Both are fantastic! * not really, I still by a ton of it, but you're really missing out on some top notch stuff if you don't try their other products.

Ambear Report post Posted January 8, 2012 You suck. I haven't been able to find the Fernet anywhere in Longmont or Fort Collins yet...and I'm IN Colorado. All the local stores keep saying that it's not quite available yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Legate Report post Posted January 8, 2012 Ambear, leave Brian's personal life out of this. And I can't wait to try the Naval Strength gin! Totally agreed! The label is frickin' beautiful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OMG_Bill Report post Posted January 8, 2012 I want some but I hate to ask friends to go out of their way and get stuff for me. I've never heard of the Naval Gin and now I'm very interested. That Leopold bunch are as nice a bunch as any I've met. Their love of the craft shows in every bottle. I haven't found a good place that will ship to Oklabygawdhoma........yet.

Brian Robinson Report post Posted January 8, 2012 I think the Fernet label is the prettiest of all of them. So classy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Griffin Report post Posted January 8, 2012 Their blackberry liqueur is outstanding as well. Thanks Ambear, I'll see if the DC or IL places ship. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leopold Report post Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) You suck. I haven't been able to find the Fernet anywhere in Longmont or Fort Collins yet...and I'm IN Colorado. All the local stores keep saying that it's not quite available yet. It's been "available" since the beginning of December. Stores seem to choose their own narrative, as my fellow distillers and importers have surely noticed. You should be able to get it at Wilburs in FoCo. Have you had the Gran Classico yet, Brian? Love that stuff. The packaging, the flavor profile, all of it. Figured you'd love that if you like my Fernet. Thanks for the praise on the Fernet label. That's my first crack at label design, as my brother does all the others. DIY. Bill, we just released our Navy Strength Gin this week, so it's brand new. 57% abv, and distilled with an eye toward tall cocktails. Read: anything with juices, tonic, etc. that dilutes that high proof. Although it does make a Negroni that will buckle your knees for more than one reason. Happy New Year everyone!

OMG_Bill Report post Posted January 8, 2012 Thank you Todd.........<sigh>maybe I can sell the Harley. *smiley wink* I'll focus on it directly and I do tonic water and gin pretty well. And gin and ice. And perhaps a martini. Oh my goodness! Precious would take a chainsaw after my raisins if I sold the harley to buy booze. *smile* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Robinson Report post Posted January 8, 2012 Have you had the Gran Classico yet, Brian? Hell yes. They broke some out back at Tales in '09 I believe. I was first in line at Ace Bev when it finally became available! You guys all are doing gret justice to the cocktail renaissance. Cheers to you all.

Ambear Report post Posted January 8, 2012 We'vee been checking Wilbur's every weekend and their managers are the ones telling us it's not out yet, but we haven't checked this weekend. Hopefully next weekend (after payday). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billnchristy Report post Posted February 7, 2012 Leopold has been our favorite absinthe thus far. We love the grape base. Both of our bottles have been batch 41. Have been trying to find the vodka but cannot around here, Christy likes her vodka but nobody has had it. I should be happy, I suppose, that the absinthe is here. If not it would be Kübler city.

billnchristy Report post Posted March 6, 2012 Purchased our 3rd bottle this weekend. Went with a 39 this time, the 41 was a bit darker and Christy expressed the desire for something milder...the last bottle of 41 was a bit harsh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
