James isn’t just a name — it’s a legacy. It represents the feeling of gathering with the people who shape us, the laughter that fills a room, and the stories shared across a familiar table. It’s the steady hand pouring the first glass and the voice behind the tales we’ve heard a dozen times but never grow tired of.
To create spirits that bring people together — honoring tradition while inspiring new stories around every shared table.
At James Distilling, we craft spirits rooted in patience, quality, and authenticity. By respecting time-honored distilling methods and selecting the finest grains, we create bottles that celebrate connection, craftsmanship, and the spirit of Colorado.
Crafted at the base of the Colorado Rockies, James Distilling reflects the grit of the high country, the freedom of open skies, and the warmth of long evenings spent around a shared table. What began as a passion for craft and tradition has grown into a distillery dedicated to creating spirits that celebrate both heritage and possibility.
