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:

Semper Fi! Born in a bar in 1775, the Marines wore a stiff leather collar to protect their necks as they boarded enemy vessels. Today, the term "Leatherneck" symbolizes the indomitable fighting spirit of the United States Marine Corps. Here’s to the Leatherneck!
1350 Distilling’s celebratory spirit for their first year of business fittingly is dedicated to the United States Marine Corps for our President and Head Distiller, and all men and women who call themselves "Leathernecks".
Released at the one year business anniversary and the 245th birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps, the Leatherneck Whiskey is a strong, spicy, and memorable three-year aged, rye heavy whiskey. For these historical and personal reasons, 1350 Distilling proclaims the Leatherneck Whiskey as the “Official Veterans Day American Spirit”!
The Leatherneck Whiskey is the fifth spirit that represents the United States military branches.
