The distillery operates copper pot stills rather than the column stills common in larger bourbon operations, yielding a heavier, more characterful distillate. Founders Select uses a four-grain mashbill of corn, wheat, rye, and malted barley, with grains cultivated at high altitude in Colorado's San Luis Valley, then aged in new charred American oak barrels. The result reflects the distillery's grain-to-glass philosophy, where every step from sourcing through bottling takes place in Colorado.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toasted caramel and brown butter open the nose, followed by dried stone fruit and a dusting of baking spice.

The four-grain mashbill — incorporating corn, wheat, rye, and malted barley — creates a profile distinct from conventional two- or three-grain bourbons, delivering complexity that reflects both the recipe and the high-altitude terroir of the San Luis Valley. Copper pot still distillation adds further weight and character, setting Founders Select apart from the column-distilled bourbons that dominate the market.
