291 Colorado
Located in beautiful Colorado Springs, Colorado, distillery 291 sits in the shadow of Pikes Peak. Owner and founding distiller Michael Myers, a former nyc fashion photographer with a love of whiskey and passion for the old west, aims to replicate the taste, smell and folklore of that time by creating a one-of-a-kind, bold and beautiful, Colorado whiskey. Myers grew up on family farms in Georgia and Tennessee in countrysides defined by rolling hills, horses, Jack Daniels and George Dickel. Myers built his original still from copper photogravure plates that he had once used to create enduring photographs, from western landscapes to the Chrysler Building. 291 Colorado Whiskey is distilled from beginning to end by hand, utilizing grains from the Colorado plains and water collected from Pikes Peak reservoirs.
