Attended the Colorado Trout Unlimited Gala last night, one the nice fundraisers they had last night
was a tasting and limited purchase of the Colorado Bourbon now being produced in Salida, CO by
Boathouse Distillery. Jerry, the owner, was there to highlight his distillery and new product. They were
selling 6 bottles with all proceeds going to Trout Unlimited, with the caveat, that all purchasers received a raffle ticket for a chance at a Winston Fly Rod. Behold, we could not pass up those odds and purchased two fine bottles. Bam, we now are the proud owners of a New Winston Flyrod, compliments of Boathouse Distillery. Thanks
About Boathouse Distillery
Boathouse Distillery handcrafts
ultra-premium Bourbon and other spirits in small batches. Established in
Salida, Colorado, with a ready supply of pure Rocky Mountain water and locally
grown ingredients, Boathouse Distillery serves Colorado’s Front Range, Western
Slope and resort communities with artisan spirits. A tasting room at the
distillery is also in the works.
Colorado Bourbon, Boathouse
Distillery’s signature whiskey, is a distinctly American spirit enjoyed by men
and women around the West for its rich, mellow flavor. We source our Bourbon
from craft southern-state distillers after it has aged four years in new
charred oak barrels, imparting notes of vanilla, caramel and fruit to create a
unique spirit. The final step is to rectify, or finish, the
connoisseur-grade Bourbon. We also produce our Colorado Moonshine, a smooth
white whiskey with more character than other clear spirits. Additional products
include a line of flavored vodkas infused with all-natural fruits (i.e., no
chemical flavorings).
Boathouse Distillery works with ranch
organizations, land conservation groups and sportsmen’s associations — Trout Unlimited, Rocky
Mountain Elk Foundation, Ducks Unlimited, North American Wild Turkey
Foundation, Mule Deer Foundation, Pheasants Forever, etc. — to offer
limited-edition bottling that support these organizations’ conservation
efforts.
With its strong agricultural heritage, our central
Colorado location provides access to a palate of premium ingredients — pristine
water, corn, barley, wheat and fruits — from which to create spirits with
distinct characteristics. Have a taste and we’re certain you’ll agree that our
Colorado Bourbon, Moonshine and vodkas offer a fresh interpretation of these
time-honored libations.
