Bourbon With Friends Distillery 291 Barrel Pick

Bourbon With Friends

In this episode. Paul & Connor are in Colorado Springs doing a barrel pick with Distillery 291. We are joined by are friends Matt and Bryan as well as Emily and Eric with Distillery 291. Forgive us friends, we had about 10-12 barrel proof pours before we did the show. :)
291 Colorado Whiskey is a globally acclaimed, small batch whiskey nestled in the shadow of Pikes Peak. Located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Michael Myers, a former New York City fashion and beauty photographer, with a love of whiskey and passion for the old west, aims to replicate the taste, smell and folklore of that time, to create a one of a kind, bold and beautiful, Colorado Whiskey.

Myers, no stranger to whiskey or the West, set out to create a flagship whiskey that evoked the Wild West. He grew up on rural family farms in Georgia and Tennessee, across a countryside defined by rolling hills, horses, Jack Daniels and George Dickel. For decades since then, he carried with him an iconic vision of walking into an old west bar, saying “give me a whiskey”, and the bartender slamming down a bottle– that bottle would be 291 Colorado Whiskey.
