History of the Brand
Todd and Scott Leopold opened Leopold Bros in Michigan in 1999 and moved the distillery to Denver in 2008, building a reputation for old-method production including floor-malted grain.
Three Pins is named for the classic telemark ski binding — a nod to the Colorado backcountry the liqueur is meant to evoke.
It sits in the same family as Braulio and Génépy, but is rounder and sweeter than either, which makes it an easy entry point into alpine bitters.
