Root Shoot Spirits has made its award-winning Colorado whiskey available online to ship directly to consumers across the US. The Loveland-based producer’s collection includes five expressions, led by a single malt recently named ‘Whisky of the Year’ at the 2026 London Spirits Competition.
The spirits are crafted with grain grown and malted on the Olander family’s fifth-generation farm in Loveland, Colorado. From field to bottle, all Root Shoot whiskey travels only about 30 miles, which the brand says represents a hyper-local and sustainable supply chain.
The range comprises the 4-Year Bottled-in-Bond American Single Malt Whiskey, Colorado Peach Brandy Cask Finished Whiskey, 6-Year Single Barrel American Single Malt, 6-Year Small Batch Bottled-in-Bond American Single Malt and a Heritage Grain Wheated Bourbon.

“Every sip, every nuance, is a reflection not only of Colorado agriculture, but of our family farm, recently designated a Centennial Farm,” said Todd Olander, Root Shoot’s founder and farmer. “It carries more than 100 years and five generations of hard work, care and commitment to quality, and we’re proud to share a piece of that history with whiskey lovers across the country.”
