Distiller's Background:

Boulder Spirits was founded with a singular goal: to fuse the heritage of Scottish whisky with the bold character of the American West. Led by Scottish-born distiller Alastair Brogan, the team employs traditional copper pot stills from Scotland, long fermentation times, and local Eldorado Springs water to craft exceptional American single malts and bourbons. Their whiskeys are aged in #3 char American oak barrels, embracing the dry Colorado climate to deepen flavor and intensify complexity.
