Mile High Spirits Fireside Whiskeys bottles on barrel head

Mile High Spirits announced the release of four limited edition Fireside Whiskeys: Wheated Bourbon, Port Barrel Finish, Six-Year Single Barrel Bourbon and Champions Select chosen by the Colorado Avalanche.

Mile High Spirits’ single barrel bourbons begin with Rocky Mountain water, Colorado corn, spicy rye and chocolate barley distilled in a German copper still. Every drop is then carefully aged in white oak barrels at the Denver Rackhouse. This delicately engineered process is what gives each barrel of bourbon its complex flavor profile. With notes of warm vanilla, campfire simple on the nose, dark chocolate and bold spices on the palate, the bourbon is finished with undertones of toasted sugar and toffee.

Mile High Spirits’ 5-year-old Wheated Bourbon is distilled in house and offered at 133.1 proof. The 5-Year-Old Port Barrel Finish is also distilled in house and offered at 105.6 proof with a Tawny Port Barrel finish. The Champions Select is distilled in house and was chosen by the Avalanche team after their 2022 Stanley Cup win. The Fireside Bourbon Whiskey Collection is available to purchase on pre-sale and is also sold onsite at their Tasting Room for a limited tie. Bottles start at $60.

Founded in 2011, Mile High Spirits, located in Denver’s downtown Ballpark neighborhood, is the original and only fully operating urban distillery in the Mile High City. The distillery produces thousands of gallons of award-winning spirits every year: Fireside Bourbon, Denver Dry Gin, Elevate Vodka, Cuidado Tequila, and Peg Leg Rum, among others.

“Mile High Spirits’s vision to expand its Fireside Bourbon offering by creating limited edition, aged whiskeys that showcase this exemplary grain is one I’m proud to shepherd,” said Mile High Spirits Founder, Wyn Ferrell.
