“These two selections were the unanimous choice after sampling from six barrels, and we’re excited to share them with the community in celebration of the city’s 150th anniversary,” Huesgen said in a prepared statement.
291 Colorado Straight Rye Whiskey (Batch #2) and 291 Colorado Straight Bourbon Whiskey (Batch #2) are returning releases matured in deep-charred, new American white oak barrels for three years. Traditionally a limited release, the whiskeys have only been available at the distillery’s tasting room in the past. This year, 601 bottles of the 291 Straight Bourbon Whiskey and 761 bottles of the 291 Straight Rye Whiskey will be made available online for the first time ever, and through select Colorado retailers, as well as the 291 tasting room, for a retail price of $199.
