Colorado Gold Rocky Mountain Rye Whiskey is based upon a grain bill of 95 percent rye and 5 percent malted barley... a classic Pennsylvania style rye recipe that celebrates the spicy, dry grain. It's a younger whiskey aged for 1 year in fresh-charred oak then given in a finish in honeycomb staves.
After a long wait in April of 2010, our first two barrels of premium bourbon were bottled, and it was immediatly an AWARD WINNER! In May 2010 Colorado Gold Straight Bourbon Whiskey, a Single Barrel Whiskey, was awarded a Fourth Place by the American Distilling Institute in a blind whiskey tasting event held in Kentucky. This was an outstanding accomplishment for the then three year old Colorado Gold Distillery to be in the top Four Straight Bourbon Whiskey Producers. This has been blown out of the water in 2012 with our BEST IN CLASS finish.
