Title:
291 Colorado Barrel Proof
Description:
Westport Wine & Whiskey pick Wine and Chris Zaparoski (sometimes seen in posts as Chris Zaborowski) single barrel bottle 43 of 47. 291 Barrel Proof Single Barrel Colorado Bourbon Whiskey – Finished with Aspen Wood Staves. Mashbill: 80% corn, 19% malted rye, and 1% malted barley.
Reviews for Distillery 291 Colorado Barrel Proof Bourbon from around 2022 and generally highlight its rich, spicy, and sweet profile with prominent maple, oak, and baking spice notes, often balanced with significant heat due to its high proof - a few drops of water eases this right back, though opinions vary on its price and intensity, with some finding it exceptional
Having never considered sourcing whiskey, Chris Myers created his mashbills himself to emulate the bold flavour profile he envisaged a Wild West whiskey to possess. Utilizing grains from the Colorado plains and Rocky Mountain water, he wanted a whiskey that is “Hardmade, the Colorado Way”, even going as far as adding toasted Aspen oak staves harvested from a friend’s land nearby to each barrel for about three weeks before bottling. As an additional twist, Distillery 291 uses what they have dubbed the ‘El Passo Process’ where they take secondary stillage from a Bristol IPA beer and add it to each batch of mash before slowly triple distilling to create a more viscous new make whiskey.
Part of Distillery 291’s core range, their Barrel Proof Single Barrel Colorado Bourbon provides fans of their Small Batch Colorado Bourbon and their Single Barrel Colorado Bourbon the opportunity to taste the same distillate but at cask strength and also from a single barrel. Featuring 291’s standard bourbon mash bill of 80% corn, 19% malted rye, and 1% malted barley, that’s milled on site, fermented in open-top fermenters, and triple distilled in their copper pot stills before being aged for just over a year in heavily charred 10 gallon new oak barrels, each release of Barrel Proof Single Barrel yields about 45 or so bottles. As with all their other whiskies it is also an Aspen Wood Finished whiskey meaning that toasted staves of aspen wood were added to the barrel for about 3 weeks prior to dumping, mingling, and bottling the whiskey. This whiskey comes bottled in Distillery 291’s standard tall bottle with a wire cage holding the cork in place and bears stickers of their numerous awards.
