Since 2016, Root Shoot Malting has supplied grains to breweries and distilleries that turn its locally-grown and malted barley into craft beers and spirits. Today, the company releases a new whiskey featuring ingredients that were grown, malted and distilled on Colorado’s Front Range. The American single-malt, Root Shoot Whiskey, marks the first in a forthcoming selection of Root Shoot Spirits that offer founder Todd Olander a chance to create his version of a grain-to-glass beverage. “Part of our mission is to connect people to the land and where their product is coming from,” Olander said.
