We are closing
1350 Distilling, a proud Colorado Springs-based craft distillery that has served the local community with quality spirits and memorable experiences since 2019, announces with a heavy heart that it will be closing its doors permanently on Sunday, June 8, 2025.
Since its inception, 1350 Distilling has been dedicated to honoring our country’s military and first responders through our unique branding, award-winning, high-quality products, and unwavering commitment to community engagement. Over the years, we have built a loyal customer base, hosted countless events, and provided a gathering place for locals and visitors alike.
“One of our primary goals was to give back to our community,” said Phillip Bragg, Co-Founder and Head Distiller of 1350 Distilling. “Over our five years of operation, we raised over $20,000 for local nonprofits, and provided thousands of dollars of product in like-kind-donations and services.”
“This decision was not made lightly,” said Jake Weien, Co-Founder of 1350 Distilling. “We are incredibly grateful to our loyal customers, employees, and partners who have supported us throughout this journey. Together, we built something special, and we’ll always cherish the memories and relationships made here.”
As a token of appreciation, 1350 Distilling will be offering special discounts on remaining inventory leading up to the closing date. They invite all their customers to visit them one last time to celebrate the legacy created together. Their hours of operation are:
Friday 6 June: 4pm-10pm
Saturday 7 June: 2pm-10pm - We will have some vendors for our previously scheduled Dude Fair, and will be offering many things for sale including barrels, furniture, decorations, equipment, and other miscellaneous items.

American police radio codes originated in the 1930’s and were derived from early military codes. They ensured clear and concise communication over low-tech radios. “Code Four” informs the force that “everything is safe and good”.
Not only do we “Celebrate the American Spirit of our military and their loved ones” we also celebrate our first responders with our most powerful whiskey to date. The Code Four is dedicated to all law enforcement in America. Here’s to many Code Four’s for all of our law enforcement heroes!
The same mash build as our Guardian Bourbon, the Code Four is 99% corn and aged three years. The key difference is in our proofing. We still use our clean, fresh, Rocky Mountain water keeping this strong-arm straight bourbon at 115 proof (57.5% ABV). This is a dangerously delicious, sweet and flavorful cask strength whiskey.
