Boulder Spirits Armagnac Finished Straight Bourbon

The Finishing Touch

Lost Lantern hand-selected this cask from Boulder Spirits in Colorado. The distillery has brought Scottish whiskymaking traditions to the high peaks of the Colorado Rockies. This dry, high-elevation environment makes for bold and powerful spirits.

Our first-ever finished bourbon comes from Boulder, one of our most sought-after partners. Made from their unusual high-malt mashbill, this was aged for 4.5 years in new oak and finished for 2.5 years in an Armagnac cask. The rich nose has notes of golden raisins and honey-drenched graham crackers. The palate has hints of chocolate covered cherries, cotton candy, clove, and nutmeg. The Armagnac finish magnifies the underlying sweetness and spice, creating a bright, bold, and unique single cask.

About Boulder Spirits / Vapor Distillery

Boulder Spirits (also known as Vapor Distillery) was founded by Scotsman Alastair Brogan, who has brought Scottish whiskymaking traditions to the Colorado Rockies. Using an authentic Scottish Forsyths copper pot still, Boulder makes American single malt (peated and unpeated) as well as bourbon in this dry, high-elevation environment. The rapid evaporation in the high mountain climate makes for bold and powerful spirits. Colorado is one of the hotbeds of the American whiskey renaissance, and Boulder truly stands out for intermingling the region’s unique climate and pioneer culture with Old World single malt traditions.
