Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is a thoughtful pick for the whiskey lover who is curious about what American malt can be, or for anyone with ties to Colorado. Made in Denver from 100% malted barley, double-distilled from a blend of four malted barleys sourced exclusively from Colorado and aged four years in virgin charred American white oak, it pairs the sweetness of new oak with the depth of malt. The nose leads with caramel-butterscotch, vanilla and maple syrup with a hint of leather. The palate brings cinnamon-butter, rich chocolate, warm caramel and a touch of spiced pear, all with a texture like table cream and melted brown sugar. At 94 proof it has enough presence to reward slow sipping with a splash of water, yet it also makes a rich Old Fashioned or Manhattan. Give it for a promotion, a housewarming or Father's Day, and the recipient gets a bottle with a clear sense of place and plenty to explore glass after glass.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate truffles — The whiskey's own rich chocolate and warm caramel notes echo the truffles and make for a decadent finish to dinner.
- Charcuterie with aged cheeses — Leather and cinnamon-butter notes stand up to cured meats, aged cheeses and nuts for a relaxed tasting spread.
- Father's Day toast — A bottle with maple, butterscotch and vanilla warmth is easy to share neat or stirred into an Old Fashioned with Dad.
