This special expression of our flagship Laws Four Grain Straight Bourbon is the first Bonded Bourbon in Colorado history. Aged six years, this distinctive offering exemplifies the craftsmanship, patience, and perseverance that are the hallmarks of the Laws “There Are No Shortcuts” mantra. All of our grains are grown & harvested from family-owned Colorado Farms, furthermore our traditional practice of open air, on-grain fermentation captures the essence of Colorado’s terroir with the result being a truly unapologetic authentic American Whiskey.

The US Bottled-In-Bond Act of 1897 was an important turning point in the history of bourbon and set forth exacting standards that offered consumers a guarantee of transparency, process, and quality. Specifically, it stipulated that the whiskey must be the product of one distilling season, from one distillery, aged in a federally bonded warehouse for at least four years and bottled at 100 proof. One Hundred and Twenty Three years later, this designation continues to offer those same guarantees, providing consumers with the knowledge of where, how, and when the Bourbon was harvested, crafted and aged

Bottle Size: 750ml

Our Laws San Luis Valley Straight Rye is born at 7,400 feet above sea level in Colorado’s pristine San Luis Valley on the Cody Family farm which has been cultivating this low yield, semi-wild rye grain since the 1930's. Using our traditional, labor intensive distilling technique we bring this grain's unique, individual character to life while our open-air, on-grain sour mash process adds the soulful complexity found within all our whiskey. Aged for a minimum of three years in our rarified thin air, this rye is luxurious in texture and generous in perfume.

Story

LAWS WHISKEY HOUSE IS REIMAGINING GREAT AMERICAN WHISKEY BY CREATING UNIQUE AND BOLD FLAVOR EXPERIENCES. OUR GRAIN-FORWARD STYLE WHISKEYS ARE MADE WITH THE HIGHEST QUALITY CORN AND HEIRLOOM WHEAT, BARLEY, AND RYE GROWN BY TWO COLORADO FAMILY FARMS. WE USE TIME-TESTED PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES THAT SHOWCASE EACH INDIVIDUAL GRAIN’S TERROIR RESULTING IN SINGULAR AND NOVEL WHISKEYS.

We use grains that mass production forgot.

The soulful, rich flavors of our no-compromise whiskey begin with our use of only heirloom and heritage grains. Modern agricultural has no interest in these low-yield, finicky grains, yet we could not create the singular profile of each Laws Whiskey without them. We are dependent on the two family-owned farms – the Cody’s in the San Luis Valley and the Ohnmacht’s out on Colorado’s eastern plains – willing to cultivate these specialized grains for us.Terroir is Our Master
Our whiskey chose Colorado. Don’t get us wrong, we think Colorado is a cool place to live, but that’s not why Laws is here. Our terroir-driven whiskey requires the rarified thin air, the hot days and cool nights of the Rocky Mountain region, and the rugged growing conditions of the San Luis Valley and eastern plains that stress our grains just enough to deepen their flavor.

There are No Shortcuts at Laws.

We always have and always will distil every drop we bottle. While our whiskey aged, we didn’t sell any whiskey for our first three years. Time is as critical of an ingredient as our heirloom grains. Every mash bill gets its own optimal distillation process, and we deploy time-intensive sour mash fermentation. We are the first Colorado distiller to bottle bonded whiskeys. For us, these steps are not extra, they’re mandatory to creating Laws Whiskey

Our Master Distiller is a Village.

At Laws, no person has the title ‘Master Distiller.’ We believe it takes the talents, smarts, quirks and obsessive passion of every Laws co-worker, aka The Village, to make our whiskey. In the Laws Village, you are part of something so much greater than self.

After three years in 53-gallon charred oak barrels, influenced by our high-altitude climate, an entirely novel bourbon unfolds.

Maker Notes

We are thrilled to announce the next chapter in our Origins Series tradition with INTENTION, our 2022 release. This expression represents some of the oldest and most exceptional whiskeys we have to offer.

COMING TOGETHER WITH INTENTION
With INTENTION we sought to create a whiskey with distinct intricacy and balance
using our flagship Four Grain Straight Bourbon. To achieve this outcome, we selected and combined barrels from a spectrum of ages, ranging from three to ten years old at cask strength. In this marriage, every barrel contributes toward creating a harmony of flavor featuring the younger barrels’ brighter grain and fruit notes complimented by the older barrels’ richer character and flavors.

TASTE AND AROMAS
Ripe peaches, cherries, orange blossom, honey, and corn pudding on the nose with green melon, buttery pastry, sweet cinnamon, and black tea on the palate. Medium body with a bright, lingering finish.

Mash bill: 60% corn, 20% heirloom wheat, 10% heirloom rye, 10% heirloom malted barley

Total maturation time: A marriage of barrels 3-10 years old
