Welcome to join us in a toast to this fine Spirit.

You know that feeling when you taste a great Whiskey that takes over your mouthful and your whole mind-body and you think about how lucky you are that a delicious thing like that was granted to us by gods and you wonder if that’s a flavor that you yourself could match … well, Jason Jackson certainly does. A singer-songwriter from Colorado was so inspired by a glass of Knob Creek he tried to make his own Whiskey and it turned out… he can. When he passed samples out to two of his friends, they took one sip and they knew they had something special at hand. In 2013, they founded Axe and Oak Distillery, a place where crafty artisan Spirits are born and provides the time-space where folks can slow down, take a sip, and enjoy life.

The distillery's frontrunner is Colorado Mountain Bourbon Whisky, the first Spirit they presented and the Spirit that put the distillery on the map. The exact mashbill of this goodie is not disclosed, but we know it’s a high-rye blended Bourbon that’s easy to look at and even easier to drink. This Bourbon has been aged for 3 and a half years and has an Nr 3 Char, which means that once the angels and the devil have been paid their share, we’re left with a well-balanced Bourbon with a deep earthy and spicy flavor profile. Colorado Mountain Bourbon is bottled non-chill filtered and proofed with fresh Rocky Mountain spring water at 92 proof. A great sip.

Bourbon matures quicker than Scotch due to higher temperatures in American warehouses.
Bourbons are very high in vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.
Bourbons have very prominent notes of vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.

J.B.'s father, Joseph W. Dant, invented a still made from a poplar log at 16, as he couldn't afford a copper still. Although crude, it worked exceptionally well!

Bourbon Is a ''new barrel Spirit'': One of the legal requirements for Bourbon is that it only be aged in brand new oak charred barrels.
"Remember that iconic poster from World War II showing Rosie the Riveter as a patriotic American woman doing her part for the war effort? Well, hundreds of businesses did their part too, and the Bourbon distillers stepped right up with ‘em.

Distilleries all over Kentucky and Tennessee were re-tooled to distill fuel alcohol and ferment penicillin cultures to treat wounded soldiers."
