“A 291 nod to the Scotch or Irish tradition of finishing in secondary barrels…”

291 Colorado Whiskey is “Hardmade the Colorado Way”. Today (and since day one), 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.

Utilizing grains from the Colorado plains and water collected from Pikes Peak reservoirs, Myers turned his artist’s eye towards whiskey and hasn’t looked back. Everything matters.

Distillery 291 is an award winning, small batch whiskey distillery nestled in the stunning foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the distillery sits in the shadow of Pikes Peak where 291 Colorado Whiskey has earned bushels of national and international awards for its spirits with the unique character and flavor of a bygone era.

Named World’s Best Rye-2018 by World Whiskies Awards, 9 Liquid Golds from Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible and 2-time US Micro-Whiskey of the Year (Runner-up 2020, 2018), multiple Double-Gold in San Francisco World Spirits Competition, nods from IWSC and Spirits Business Journal…

291 Colorado Whiskey embodies traditions of the past married with the boldness of the future. That said, what will always define Distillery 291 is its spirit, passion permeates every sip.
