AboutVapor Distillery
Vapor Distillery makes the Boulder Spirits range in Boulder, Colorado, led by Scottish founder Alastair Brogan. The business began with gin before turning its attention to American whiskey. A Scottish-built, 1,500-gallon Forsyths copper pot still is at the centre of production.
The range includes American single malt, bourbon and gin. For its malt whiskey, the team uses malted barley and new charred American-oak barrels, ageing the spirit in Boulder’s dry, high-altitude climate and adding Eldorado Springs water before bottling.

Apple butter and cinnamon lead the nose, followed by kettle corn and gentle toasted-grain notes. The palate is soft and approachable, with fresh apple, caramel and measured rye spice carried by a rounded texture. A high proportion of malted barley gives the whiskey a less overtly sweet profile while preserving the warmth expected from bourbon. The finish is smooth and balanced, with orchard fruit, baking spice and lightly toasted oak lingering. Serve neat, over a large cube or in a spirit-forward cocktail.
