One of the oldest grain-to-bottle distilleries in Colorado, 291 Colorado Whiskey recently announced the newest addition to portfolio, 291 All Rye Colorado Whiskey Batch #1.
Made with 100% rye malt and finished with toasted aspen wood staves, this limited-edition expression is made up of 50% Colorado Malted Rye (Root Shoot Malting) and 50% German Rye Malt (Weyermann Specialty Malting) and is 132.6 proof. The whiskey is said to represents what 291 is known for: a “rugged, refined, and rebellious” whiskey, now in a single malt expression.
“We were inspired to create the addition to our line-up after the success of 291 E Batch 3, one of our first single malt experiments,” said Michael Myers, CEO & Founding Distiller of 291 Colorado Whiskey. “We liked it so much that we decided to make it again… this time featuring Colorado Malt from our friends at Root Shoot Malting out of Loveland, CO. “291 Colorado Whiskey was built on our rye, so when it came time to name our ‘291’ Single Malt, Myers exclaimed, ‘All Rye, All Rye, All Rye!’”
291 Colorado Whiskey is releasing 1000 bottles of 291 All Rye 100% Rye Malt Colorado Whiskey Finished with Aspen Wood Staves, Batch #1 for $104.99.
