That Boutique-y Whisky Company Distillery 291 B2 3 Year Old (66.6% abv) 500ml

The first of two new bottlings from the multi award-winning, small batch whiskey distillery nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Distillery 291.

Our Batch 2, is a 3 Year Old single cask Rye Whiskey, using 100% Colorado Rye. We’ve bottled it at natural cask strength 66.6% abv, and have filled just 294 bottles

With a nod to tradition, the mash is soured in open air fermenters before it is distilled three times in locally-made pot stills. Myers built his original still from copper photogravure plates that he had once used.

The whiskey is aged in virgin, heavy charred, American white oak barrels and is then brought to a finish using toasted aspen staves, which are harvested from a friend’s nearby land.

These two releases are an exercise in whisky geekery, and had we not gotten our hands on them would have been released as one of their ‘E’ Series releases. (E for experimental)

NOSE
Spicy, herbal, and a little bit agricultural. .Big rye bread dough notes, malty, Jamaican ginger cake, coffee candy. Hints of fennel and anise.

TASTE
Warming spices lead to sweet coffee, toasted rye bread, roasted grains and peppercorns. There’s a hint of chilli chocolate in the finish too. Seriously love this!
