On the Box

  • “Charting Our New West: For centuries, a well-charted tradition in whiskey has established a covenant about how it is made. But there is another, decidedly American, tradition to uphold - to challenge accepted conventions with the conviction that there is always more to be discovered. We believe that the world of whiskey is not flat and that it is time to step beyond what we have inherited. We find ourselves at the edge of a new frontier, but the edge is not the end of what we know, it is just the beginning of what we have yet to explore. With Colere, we set out to chart the direct impact of barley on flavor. Colere, from a Latin verb meaning to cultivate, represents leaving behind the well-trod territory of ubiquitous grains and venturing into the thousands of uncharted barley varietals whose flavor has yet to be considered. Each release marks a new outpost in our ongoing exploration of the vast frontier of whiskey. Our West Is Whiskey.”
