291 Colorado Whiskey announced a new addition to their stable of whiskeys, an all-rye whiskey, the first batch of its kind from the distillery.

Crafted with 100% rye malt and finished with toasted aspen wood staves, this limited-edition whiskey offers rich, complex flavors, colors, and mouthfeel. It represents what 291 Colorado Whiskey is known for– Rugged, Refined, and Rebellious whiskey, now coming forth in a single malt expression. 291 All Rye Colorado Whiskey Batch #1 was created based on inspiration by the success of 291 E Batch 3, one of 291’s first single malt experiments, according to Michael Myers, CEO & Founding Distiller of 291 Colorado Whiskey.

“We liked it so much that we decided to make it again,” he said in a news release, “this time featuring Colorado Malt from our friends at Root Shoot Malting out of Loveland, CO.”

291 All Rye 100% Rye Malt Colorado Whiskey Finished with Aspen Wood Staves, Batch #1 is made up of 50% Colorado Malted Rye (Root Shoot Malting) and 50% German Rye Malt (Weyermann Specialty Malting). Distillery 291 is releasing 1,000 bottles of this 132.6-proof whiskey with an MSRP of $104.99.

291 Colorado Whiskey strives to honor the Western whiskey of a bygone era. 291 is the passion project of a former New York City fashion photographer and was first created in a small basement from a one-of-a-kind still, constructed from old copper photographic plates. 291 is made grain to barrel to bottle, and the distillery’s whiskies are finished with toasted staves of Colorado aspen trees. 291 Colorado Whiskey has been earning awards and recognition since its first run off the still in 2011.
