Drink BEST OF BOULDER

Distillery Spirit Hound

4196 Ute Highway, Lyons

Silver: DV8 Distillery

Bronze: Copper Sky

The award-winning Spirit Hound produces single malt whiskey, bourbon, gin, vodka and coffee liquor, offering a selection that has caught our readers’ attention. For whisky aficionados, Spirit Hound’s straight malt whisky consists of barley that was grown and malted in Alamosa, Colorado. A small amount of peated malt gives this whisky a Scottish twist. Their barrel-finished gin is “a respectful nod to a gone-but-not-forgotten favorite from the past, old tom gin,” with warm flavors of Mexican vanilla, cassia cinnamon and nutmeg.
