Distiller's Background:

Boulder Spirits was founded on a mission to craft American whiskeys that reflect both Scottish tradition and Colorado ingenuity. Led by distiller Alastair Brogan and operating with the largest pot still in the state, the distillery ages its spirits in the semi-arid climate of Boulder using #3 char American white oak barrels and pristine Eldorado Springs water. Since its beginnings, Boulder Spirits has become part of the broader American Single Malt movement, a growing category now recognized for its creativity and quality, distinguished by the use of virgin American oak barrels.

Serving Suggestions:

Enjoy neat to experience its balance of smoke and sweetness, or with a splash of water to open up its herbal and caramelized layers. Its subtle peat makes it versatile for pairing with smoked meats, rich cheeses, or even dark chocolate desserts. Serve at room temperature in a Glencairn glass for the best expression.

The Boulder Spirits Peated American Single Malt Whiskey stands as proof that peat doesn’t have to dominate; it can harmonize. This is an American whiskey with depth, elegance, and just enough smoke to intrigue both newcomers and seasoned whisky drinkers alike.
