These special releases of Shelter Cask Strength Blue Corn Bourbon are a testament to our dedication to merging traditional distilling principles, modern techniques, and a generous dose of experimentation. So, if you're seeking a bourbon that celebrates the rich heritage of the American West while pushing the boundaries of flavor and craftsmanship, look no further. Shelter Cask Strength Blue Corn Bourbon embodies that spirit, and it's ready to take you on a thrilling journey through the world of bourbon.

70% California blue corn, 20% Colorado white wheat, 5% Colorado 2-row malted barley, and 5% Colorado rye showcasing signature flavors of birthday cake, vanilla, and maple. However, each bourbon holds its own nuances from unique barrels, cask strengths, and aging locations.

Fermented in temperature-controlled, open-top stainless tanks, double pot distilled, and slow-proofed to 100 in char 4 American Oak barrels. After aging, we non-chill filter through a coarsely woven cloth at cask strength into the bottle.

“What sets Shelter's Cask Strength Blue Corn Bourbon apart from the rest is its delightful complexity. The use of non-GMO Heirloom California Blue Corn brings a sweet, nutty, creamy, and buttery dimension, complemented by bready and doughy notes from malted barley. The addition of wheat imparts fruitiness and mouthfeel, while a hint of malted rye adds spiciness.” – Marco Magdaleno, Head Distiller and Brewer
