Every whiskey we create is an heirloom grain, terroir-driven flavor experience for our fellow whiskey hunters.


Bourbon

Our bourbon’s rich flavor is impossible to replicate. Not only because of what we do, but because of what our farmers do.

  • Laws - Four Grain Straight Bourbon Whiskey

    Four Grain Straight Bourbon

    Four Grain Straight Bourbon whiskey

    Our Four Grain Bourbon story starts at two Colorado family farms where the highest quality corn and heirloom varietals of wheat, barley and rye are grown. Turning the page, 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-elevation climate, an entirely novel bourbon unfolds.

    AROMAS:

    Orange blossoms compliment notes of black tea, honey and dusty pepper

There are No Shortcuts to Laws.

We always have and always will distill every drop we bottle. While it aged, we didn’t sell any whiskey for our first three years. Time is as critical ingredient as our heirloom grains. Every mash bill gets its own optimal distillation process, and we deploy time-intensive sour mash fermentation. We are the first Colorado distiller to bottle bonded whiskeys. For us, these steps are not extra, they’re mandatory to creating Laws Whiskey.

  • Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished in Calvados Cask

    In-Season

    Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished in Calvados Cask

    Calvados is a category of brandy named after its home region in Normandy, France. Unlike its French brandy counterparts, Cognac and Armagnac, which are both derived from grapes, Calvados is made from apples. You may not be able to always taste the grapes in Cognac, but the apples in Calvados are hard to miss. Aging our Four Grain Bourbon in used Calvados casks makes those golden apple notes shine brightly.

    AROMAS:

    Golden apple, autumn leaves, and orange blossom

    FLAVORS:

    Baking spice, clove oil, black tea, and fig with a dry finish

    Four Grain Cognac Cask Finished Bourbon

    This limited release starts with our Four Grain Straight Bourbon. We migrate this bourbon to various-sized French oak casks, adding flavors from the wood and spirit previously held in these vessels.

Every year we harvest just a portion of the whiskey, immediately topping up the foeder with new Four Grain Bourbon finished in Cognac Casks. This solera-style cycle creates a complex spirit with our signature Four Grain flavor followed by nuanced notes of stewed fruit, raisin, and black tea with a luxurious finish.

    Stewed fruit and black tea on the nose. Flavors of spiced apple butter, toasted wood, and raisin lead to a luxurious, rich finish.

As the saying goes, “it takes a Village” and for our village “there are no shortcuts.” Only 804 bottles in total.
