291 Colorado Bourbon Whiskey Barrel Proof Single Barrel is the flagship, award-winning bourbon of Distillery 291, bottled straight from a single barrel at 127.6 proof (63.8% ABV).
It is not your traditional Southern bourbon: distilled from a bourbon mash in a copper pot still, aged in a new American oak barrel, finished with toasted Aspen staves and bottled at barrel proof for a one-of-a-kind Colorado flavour.
Big, bold and beautiful, it brings dark red cherry, honeycomb and campfire marshmallow, palate-coating and full-bodied straight from the barrel, with a very long finish.
An unapologetic barrel proof single barrel that you can drink at full strength or open up with a little water or ice, it is a bold gift for bourbon lovers.
Sip it neat, then add water or ice to taste.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
Aspen is not a traditional barrel wood, and finishing with toasted Aspen staves is Distillery 291's Colorado signature, adding a soft sweetness and a distinctive character that sets it apart from Kentucky bourbon. Bottled at barrel proof, every single barrel is a little different.
