Great whiskeys are being made all over the country, this week we focus on a few of our favorites from Colorado. High elevation and a generally drier climate create a unique ecosystem to produce flavorful whiskey.
Laws Whiskey House Four Grain Straight Bourbon
Sale $54.99 reg. $58.99
After two Colorado family farms grow our heirloom varietals of wheat, barley and rye, our labor-intensive cooking technique brings each grain’s individual character to life, while open-air sour mash adds soulful complexity. After three years in 53-gallon charred oak barrels, influenced by our high-altitude climate, an entirely novel bourbon unfolds.
Laws Whiskey House Bonded 6-yr Straight Bourbon
Sale $74.99 reg. $79.99
This special offering of our Four Grain is the first bonded bourbon in Colorado history. True to the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897, this bourbon is at least 4 years old, a product of a single season and a single distiller, and has been aged entirely in our federally bonded rickhouse.
Laws Whiskey House San Luis Valley Bonded 6-yr Rye Whiskey
Sale $74.99 reg. $79.99
The first rye whiskey to be Bottled in Bond in Colorado history, it hails from the San Luis Valley rye grain of a single season, shaped by us as the single distiller, then aged in our federally bonded rickhouse for at least four years.
Laws Whiskey House Henry Road Bonded 5-yr Malt Whiskey
Sale $74.99 reg. $79.99
The barley in our Malt Whiskey was literally kept from extinction. While commercial farmers found it too low yield, Wayne Cody found its unstripped flavor too glorious to let go. Today, his sons, in a field alongside Henry Road, continue to grow, as well as malt, this barley for us.
Breckenridge Bourbon Whiskey

Our award-winning, high-rye Bourbon Whiskey is aged for a minimum of three years, in charred, new American oak barrels, and blended to reveal the unique qualities of the Bourbon Whiskey.

Aviary
Cabernet Sauvignon
California 2020
$14.99
reg. $15.99
Aviary California Cabernet Sauvignon is developed to offer the classic big, rich, dark fruit Cabernet attributes, while also displaying velvety smooth tannin structure, tempered by consistent selection of oak. On the nose you will find generous blueberry fruit with a touch of crushed earth. The mid-pallet continues with dark fruit expressions of cassis, some red fruit in the form of subtle strawberry preserves, and just a touch of bright menthol or eucalyptus.

Chardonnay
2017
Sale $16.99
92 Points James Suckling
Fragrant aromas of crisp apple, citrus led by lemon zest and lime, lemon crème and toasted hazelnut lead to a richly textured wine with layers of similar flavors, enhanced with a honey almond and stone fruit character. A luminous, pale gold color hints at the nicely balanced and elegant entry with bright acidity and creamy roundness. The finish is persistent and memorable.

Rosé of Pinot Noir
2019
Sale $19.99
92 Points Wine Enthusiast
Winemaking is light handed, with timely and deliberate choices made to craft a wine that genuinely reflects the vineyard and vintage. This rose has bright aromas and flavors, fresh acidity and a clean finish which is due to selecting exceptional blocks of fruit and picking early in the season when the acidity is naturally high, and the sugars are low.
Maison
L'Envoye
Rosé of Gamay Noir
2018
Sale $14.99
The 2018 vintage of the “Le Saint Pâle” Rosé is delicate and lively yet fleshy and generous. Vibrant aromas of red fruit, watermelon rind and lime blossom are supported by the subtlest touches of aniseed and lanolin. The palate is bright, energetic and mouthwatering with ripe orchard fruit and floral notes supported by a steely mineral backbone. The wine’s juicy natural acidity is complemented by an underlying creaminess that enlivens the mouthfeel and delivers balance to the long and luscious finish.
Bodega Norton
Barrel Select
Malbec
2019
Sale $17.99

Brewer's Notes:
Noted as the first commercial example of a Belgian saison imported to the United States in the late 1980's, Dupont Saison is considered the classic benchmark of the style. Full-bodied but effervescent, Dupont Saison is beloved for its distinct peppery bite and unique flavor derived from Brasserie Dupont’s signature strain of yeast.
