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.

“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.”

Fleet Admirals' Aged Rum
80 Proof / 40% ABV
Gold Medal - John Barleycorn Awards - Aged Rum 2023

Only four sailors have held the highest rank of “Fleet Admiral”: Leahy, King, Nimitz and Halsey. They are among the greatest naval leaders our nation has produced. We celebrate their fighting spirit with our elite spirit. Here’s to the American Spirit of the Fleet Admirals!
Building from the same Louisiana molasses and Colorado sugar beets mash as our Blue Jacket Rum and distilled in our one-of-a-kind Rocket Still, we produce a hot, clear and deliciously funky rum in our HQ in Colorado Springs, Colorado. We immediately store the ambrosia into our spent Code Four and Guardian Bourbon barrels for a minimum of six months to age. The barrels previously stored our 120 proof, 99% corn bourbons for three years.
The sweet corn residue and heavy char wood converts the Fleet Admirals’ Barrel Aged Rum into a pale to medium straw color. The aging rounds out the finish into a smooth, caramel and butterscotch sipping rum. Molasses and burnt sugar tickles the nose similarly to our Blue Jacket Rum while an enjoyable dance of caramel and butterscotch tease your tongue on the finish.
This is a pure rum. No added sugars, thickeners or coloring agents. It is as straightforward as the elite men it is named after. Respectfully dedicated to four outstanding men: Leahy, King, Nimitz and Halsey. Four vitally important parts of our 1350 Spirit:
• Our sugars
• Our Rocket Still process
• Our barrels
• and YOUR enjoyment
Tasting Notes: A funky, buttery rum with an excellent depth of flavor that showcases the complexity of a sugar-based spirit, finishing with a creamy, almost butterscotch end. https://barleycornawards.com/tasting/winners/#/gold/2023/fall
