In front of the Durango Craft Spirits booth, I raised my taster glass for a sniff, swished the warming liquid around my mouth and let it go down the hatch. This whiskey, said distillery owner Michael McCardell, was their first batch, barrel-aged two years and tapped just two months ago. McCardell’s wife and distilling partner, Amy McCardell, added that the whiskey (like their Soiled Doves Vodka and Mayday Moonshine) is made with all Colorado ingredients — “non-GMO white corn from the Mountain Utes and barley, malt, wheat and rye from the Colorado Malting Company in Alamosa,” she said. I thanked them and moved to the next booth.
