As part of its highly anticipated, annual summer release season, 291 Colorado Whiskey is releasing 291 Colorado Straight Bourbon Whiskey (Batch #3) on June 14 (National Bourbon Day). Matured in deep-charred, new American white oak barrels, this limited-edition, barrel select release is batched from whiskey harvested at five, four and two years. Head distiller, Eric Jett notes, “Batch #3 of our 291 Colorado Straight Bourbon Whiskey strikes the perfect balance between spicy and sweet.” The aroma is full of cinnamon graham crackers (heavy on the cinnamon), cloves, and white pepper.
