A2: Transplanted Gin

In a column reviewing American-made gin, Eric Felten of the Wall Street Journal gives props to a batch from Leopold Bros., formerly of Ann Arbor: “But my favorite of the bunch came from the Leopold Bros. distillery, founded a decade ago in Ann Arbor, Mich., and recently transplanted to Denver. Leopold’s American Small Batch Gin comes in a squat, clear apothecary bottle. The simple white labels with handwritten batch numbers contribute to the gin’s lab-sample appearance. Yet Leopold’s gin isn’t the least bit medicinal. Distiller Todd Leopold has managed to get a true and robust juniper flavor without the hints of pine that many people find so off-putting about gin.” [Source]
