When you live in Colorado, you find yourself with greater opportunity than residents of most other states to get out and enjoy the outdoors. If you are a whiskey lover you, of course, want to take your favorite spirit with you on weekend getaways into the backcountry. Yet glass bottles can tragically break, spilling whiskey everywhere.

“After years of taking glass bottles on numerous rafting and backcountry ski trips, we’ve been looking for a lighter, non-glass alternative for spirits,” said Wood in a prepared statement. “When the opportunity to package our spirits in aluminum bottles became available, we had to jump on it, and we’re thrilled to have it available to our customers.”
Besides pitching the Backcountry Bottle as an outdoor container for your booze, Wood’s High is also playing up other aspects of the bottle, including environmental benefits over glass. For the distillery, this means lighter weight for transportation and lower impact from manufacturing as a result of the high recycled content used in the its manufacturing process.
