Breckenridge Bourbon
"Besides the unique high-rye mash bill, Breckenridge Distillery owes its success to careful mingling of casks at each bottling and the perfect Breckenridge snowmelt water used for proofing. The natural minerality of the water source ensures the luscious mouth-feel, depth of flavor, and long finish making Breck Bourbon one of the very best Whiskeys in the World."
This Colorado Bourbon is made with 56% yellow corn, 38% green rye, 6% malted barley and has been aged for an average of 2-3 years in new American White Oak barrels. $43.99
Over 100 years old, 'Shackleton's Whisky' returns to Scotland!
Leopold Brothers Maryland-Style Rye Whiskey
We were lucky to be one of the few who received some of the first barrels of "Leopold Brothers Maryland-Style Rye Whiskey". Made right here in Denver, it pays homage to a style of whiskey that was America's most popular prior to prohibition. This style must be made from 51% rye mash and is spicier and leaner than a bourbon and was the inspiration for many legendary American cocktails, such as the Sazerac and the Manhattan. It is more assertive than the fuller, sweeter bourbon style which allows it to blend more harmoniously in simple (i.e. whiskey cokes) and more complicated cocktails. Leopold seems to have the Midas touch when it comes to distilling and their newest addition is no exception. To put it more bluntly, we think this rye is awesome. Limited supply, get while it lasts! $49.99
Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey
We have wonderful news! We just got our hands on some Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey! This stuff has been pretty elusive over the past few months and we can't guarantee how long we'll have it in stock. The good news is pundits and booze speculators suggest it's just starting to come back into circulation.
About Stranahan's
Other whiskeys claim to use the finest ingredients, but that's tough for us to believe when ours are the only ingredients that carry the purity and the freshness of the Rocky Mountains.
Eighty percent of our barley is grown in Colorado with the remainder coming from the Rocky Mountain region. Our water sources can be found in the crisp mountain streams of the Rockies, just a stone-throw away to the west.
The barley goes through a roller mill (half husk cracked, for the sake of detail) and then into our 30 barrel mash-tun here at the distillery. The grain is mashed, sparged and transferred as a naturally maltose-sugar-rich liquid to the kettle where it is boiled before being filtered, cooled and transferred to one of our 60 barrel fermentation vessels. Once the fermentation is complete, the wash is then again filtered and transferred to distillery holding tanks. From the holding tanks, the wash goes into a custom made combination pot (scotch style) and column (bourbon style) still, made by Vendome Copper Co. of Louisville, Kentucky. We distill it twice, of course, taking the best parts of the doubling run. And that's what fills our 52.8 gallon charred, American white oak whiskey barrels.
We age our whiskey a minimum of two years before it reaches bottled perfection for your drinking pleasure.

Johnnie Walker 'Double Black'
Scotch lovers rejoice! Single malts expertly blended from both naturally aged smokey whiskies and whiskies matured in heavily charred oak barrels create JW's new Double Black beauty.
"Johnnie Walker Double Black is the newest addition to the Johnnie Walker family of Scotch whiskies. Double Black starts with the Black Label template, and from there, it adds peatier malts and malts aged in heavily charred oak barrels - the result being a smokier dram than the original. While the Black Label is aged for 12 years, Johnnie Walker Double Black carries no age statement. On the nose, Double Black offers aromas of peat smoke, oak and dried fruits. You’ll notice more smoke, plus some pleasant tropical fruit notes, vanilla and spice. It’s quite drinkable, with an easy-going mouthfeel and a dry finish." - WhiskeyIntelligence.com
