Boulder, Colorado (September 7th, 2024) – Boulder Spirits 2024 Cask Strength Bourbon Release
On Saturday, September 7th, the public will have the opportunity to taste and purchase Boulder Spirits 2024 Cask Strength Bourbon at Vapor Distillery in Boulder, Colorado. Renowned for being the only Colorado distillery to make it to the top 30 in the famed Top 100 American whiskeys list for two consecutive years, Boulder Spirits finished in spots #10 and #28.
Fred Minnick Praises Colorado Whiskey
American whiskey writer Fred Minnick, who organizes the Top 100 list, expressed his admiration for Colorado: “I think there’s something special going on in Colorado, and I think everybody needs to pay attention to that.”
Head Blender Ryan Negley on Boulder Spirits’ Success
“We’re more lucky than good,” quips head blender Ryan Negley. He adds earnestly, “We’re lucky to be here in Colorado. We’re lucky this unique aging environment is a part of our whiskey’s DNA.”
Each barrel of whiskey was individually selected and then ‘married’ or rested together for a total of 3 months in a stainless steel tank to create the batch prior to bottling. “This level of detail is crucial to producing world-class whiskey, or spirit of any kind. Every step along the way matters, and there’s no substitution for time,” says Negley.
Limited Edition Cask Strength Bourbon
Only 1,984 bottles of the 2024 Cask Strength Bourbon were produced, compared to the elusive Pappy Van Winkle 20 Year which releases close to 3,000 bottles. This year’s edition boasts an age statement of 7 years and is a marriage of 15 barrels.

Tickets for the release will go on sale on Boulder Spirits’ website beginning July 23rd. The whiskey will be distributed to stores, bars, and restaurants in the weeks following the public release. Boulder Spirits’ website will also offer limited availability for shipping into select markets throughout the U.S.
About Boulder Spirits
The Boulder Spirits story begins with Alastair Brogan and his dream of captaining a single malt distillery. Moving to the United States from Scotland in 2012, Brogan aimed to create world-class whiskey.
