Tasted at Saratoga Whiskey Club Tasting # 119 - Bourbon Highlights. This was one of the most unusual whiskeys I've had. There were only 47 bottles in this single-barrel release. From the Distillery 291 website: 291 Colorado Bourbon Whiskey is not your traditional Southern bourbon. Aspen stave finished and bottled at barrel proof for a one of a kind, Colorado flavor. Full bodied, straight from the barrel. Our flagship, Colorado Bourbon Whiskey Barrel Proof, single barrel Bourbon whiskey distilled from a Bourbon mash in a copper pot still, aged in American white oak deep char barrels and finished with toasted Aspen staves. Distillery 291 is distilling, grain to barrel to bottle, distinctive Colorado whiskey. Owner and founding distiller, Michael Myers, a former New York City fashion and beauty photographer, with a love of whiskey and passion for the old west, aims to replicate the taste, smell and folklore of that time, to create a one of a kind, bold and beautiful, Colorado Whiskey. Rugged, Refined, Rebellious.
