Elkins Distilling Co. in Estes Park, CO is co-owned by myself, McShan Walker, and Joe Elkins. We're a dynamic duo, bringing our unique skills and experiences together to create exceptional spirits for our customers to enjoy.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. As a redneck from Brierfield, Alabama, I grew up in a town where homemade whisky and the bartering system are still very much a way of life. The art of distilling has been passed down through generations in my family, and I've always had a deep appreciation for the craft.
In addition to my passion for distilling, I also have a knack for creating custom transport cases for military electronics. It may seem like a strange combination, but both industries require attention to detail, precision, and a commitment to quality. I take pride in my work, whether it's crafting a sturdy case or creating a smooth and flavorful spirit.
Joe Elkins, my business partner, brings his own expertise to the table. He is an expert sommelier and brewer, with a deep knowledge of wines and beers. His palate is finely tuned, and he has a talent for creating balanced and complex flavors in our spirits. Joe's experience and passion for the craft of brewing and distilling have been invaluable to the success of Elkins Distilling Co.
Together, Joe and I have built a business that reflects our shared love for creating exceptional spirits. We believe in using only the finest ingredients, sourced locally whenever possible, to ensure that each bottle we produce is of the highest quality. We take great care in the distillation process, using traditional techniques combined with modern innovation to craft spirits that are truly unique.
At Elkins Distilling Co., we're not just focused on creating great spirits. We also strive to create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for our customers. Our distillery in Estes Park is a gathering place where people can come together to enjoy a drink, learn about the distilling process, and connect with others who share a love for fine spirits.
Our journey as business owners has been filled with challenges and triumphs. We've faced everything from equipment malfunctions to supply chain disruptions, but we've always found a way to overcome obstacles and continue moving forward. It's been a rewarding experience to see our distillery grow and evolve over time, and we're excited for what the future holds.
