COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. (PRWEB) – Distillery 291 celebrates three prestigious awards from the Icons of Whisky and World Whiskies Awards, including the highly competitive “Craft Producer of the Year” designation. The Colorado Springs-based distillery also took home Best American New Make and Young Spirit for its Fresh Colorado Whiskey and “American Whiskey Brand Ambassador of the Year” for Senior Vice President, Philip Rawleigh.
“These awards are about more than just whiskey– they are a tribute to my amazing team and all their hard work, the miles on the road, stories shared, and memories made over the last ten years. Most importantly it’s a toast to the people who drink our rugged, refined, rebellious Colorado whiskey,” said Michael Myers, owner and founding distiller of 291 Colorado Whiskey.

The judges honored 291 for holding up the tradition of American whiskey while standing apart with their approach to crafting a bold Western whiskey. They also recognized 291 for the third year in a row with the “Best American New Make and Young Spirit” award. The judges noted that the competition was more fierce than ever, especially in the craft category.
“This year’s winners have proven themselves to be a shining light in the industry during tough times. It’s such a pleasure to be able to watch the development of the American whiskey industry and the way that distillers are challenging perceptions, while pushing standards higher and higher,” said Phoebe Calver, editor of American Whiskey Magazine.
Rawleigh, named “American Whiskey Brand Ambassador of the Year,” is now the first craft ambassador to be selected for an Icons Award. “Philip has been by my side since the early days. It’s unbelievable to have the whiskey world recognize his years of hard work and dedication to building the 291 brand in the same year,” said Myers.
