The popularity of Shelter Distilling has resulted in it expanding from its orginal location in Mammoth, CA, to Montrose, CO.
An adventure area with kayaking, Black Canyon National Park and a watersports park in town, Montrose fits the active lifestyle area that Shelter Distilling likes. Shelter makes whiskey and bourbon, gin, tequila, vodka, rum and canned cocktails
“For Shelter Distilling, it is not just about promoting a quality spirit, it is also about promoting a lifestyle, said Director of Marketing and Branding and former Professional Snowboarder Matt Hammer. “Our people have a very strong seeking spirit and a desire to commune with nature. We want to be in those places too and connect with our people.”
The new distillery will be located 1 1/2 miles from the airport and will have a restaurant, bar and event space.
“In our quest for adventure and innovation, we’ve found the perfect location for our expansion—a space that seamlessly blends retail and production into one,” said Shelter Co-Founder, Master Distiller and Montrose local Jason Senior. “Montrose offers unique proximity to both Colorado grown ingredients and pristine mountain water, both of which are integral in the delicious flavors of our spirits.”
Shelter Distilling in Montrose will open May 18 at 11 a.m. The normal hours of operation are Sunday – Thursday 11 a.m. – 11 p.m. and Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. – midnight. For more information on the distillery as well as a look at Shelter’s spirits portfolio, visit www.shelterdistilling.com.
