Santa Fe Spirits, the innovative New Mexico distillery famous for its mesquite-smoked Colkegan Single Malt Whiskey—a bold American twist on peated Scotch—is exciting whiskey lovers with the nationwide release of Colkegan Unsmoked Single Malt Whiskey. This smooth, 100% malted barley expression lets the pure grain shine without the signature smoke, aged for about four years in new American oak and ex-bourbon barrels for a creamy, approachable profile that’s perfect for both Scotch fans branching into American single malts and newcomers discovering the category.
“We love experimenting with traditional single malt while honoring its heritage,” says founder Colin Keegan. “Our mesquite-smoked Colkegan has won hearts, but this unsmoked version complements the lineup and stands strong on its own—think warm brown sugar, toasted walnuts, vanilla custard, dried fruit, and a butterscotch finish.” Now shipping direct from santafespirits.com to dozens of states, it’s a versatile sipper that’s earning rave reviews for its balanced sweetness and spice. Raise a glass to the Southwest’s grain-to-glass magic!
About Santa Fe Spirits
Nestled at 7,000 feet in the high desert of Santa Fe, New Mexico, Santa Fe Spirits was founded in 2010 by Englishman and whiskey lover Colin Keegan, who dreamed of blending Scottish traditions with Southwest flair to create the region’s premier artisan distillery. What started as a passion for crafting unique spirits using local ingredients has grown into an award-winning operation, capturing the rugged essence of mesquite smoke, sage, and mountain air in every bottle—from grain-to-glass American single malts to innovative liqueurs.
The lineup shines with the flagship Colkegan Single Malt Whiskey, a mesquite-smoked beauty that’s a bold, barbecue-kissed alternative to peated Scotch, plus variants like unsmoked, cask strength, apple brandy-finished, and sherry cask editions. Beyond whiskey, sip on smooth Expedition Vodka, botanical Wheeler’s Gin, rich barrel-aged Apple Brandy inspired by Calvados, and fun liqueurs like Atapiño (piñon) and Slow Burn. Perfect for cocktails or neat pours, these small-batch gems are earning raves for their terroir-driven flavors—come tour the distillery and taste the Southwest spirit!
