Bourbon Distilled

Founded in 2015 by a passionate group of distillers and entrepreneurs, Bourbon Distilled emerged from a vision to revive the art of bourbon making in a region known for its brewing heritage but lacking a dedicated bourbon presence. The founders, inspired by both traditional Southern distillation practices and the unique characteristics of Colorado's environment, set out to create an innovative bourbon that reflects both American heritage and Colorado spirit. After securing a historic distillery site and investing heavily in the necessary equipment and technology, the distillery officially opened its doors to the public in early 2017. Since its inception, Bourbon Distilled has experienced remarkable growth, quickly establishing a reputation for excellence within the craft distilling community. In its first year, the distillery introduced its flagship bourbon, which was met with critical acclaim, leading to expanded production capabilities and the launch of several limited-edition releases. Over the years, the distillery has participated in various international spirits competitions, earning several prestigious awards that have solidified its standing among the top craft bourbon producers in the nation. Significant milestones include the release of its first bottled-in-bond bourbon in 2020, which celebrated the rich regulatory history of bourbon while showcasing the distillery's innovative spirit.

Bourbon Distilled is strategically located at 520 E Pikes Peak Ave, Colorado Springs, Colorado, nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. This unique geographical setting not only provides stunning mountain vistas but also influences the distillation process in various ways. The high elevation and cool climate of Colorado contribute to slower aging processes in bourbon barrels, allowing for a more complex flavor development as the whiskey interacts with the charred oak of the barrels. Additionally, the distillery benefits from access to pristine water sources, known for their purity and mineral content, which play an essential role in creating the perfect mash bill—a mix of corn, wheat, rye, and malted barley. The soil composition and agricultural diversity in the surrounding region further enhance the quality of the grains sourced locally, ensuring that each batch of bourbon carries the distinct characteristics of its environment. This geographical backdrop not only informs the flavor profile of Bourbon Distilled's products but also influences the distillers' commitment to sustainable practices, actively engaging in local partnerships to source ingredients responsibly and support the community.
