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.

Wingman Gin
80 Proof / 40% ABV
Gold Medal - The Fifty Best Gin 2021
Silver Medal - Bartender Spirit Awards 2022
Mission success is achieved with the mutual support and situational awareness of all team members. “Wingman” mentality epitomizes the role that each Airman practices on the ground and in the air. Here's to our Wingman!
It is fitting that the all-Colorado refined sugar beets that are the foundation of our Minuteman Vodka also be the same locally sourced ingredients for our Wingman Gin; after all, the Air Force first started in the United States Army as the Army Air Corps until 1947.
Juniper berries and five other ingredients provide a smooth, clean, Colorado Dry Gin unmeasurable anywhere within the Centennial State. This Colorado Dry Gin does not carry on the undesirable memories of most gins of the past. Instead, you will enjoy the smooth, floral hints of cardamom and juniper that blend expertly into traditional cocktails.
Gin & Tonics or Gimlets play nicely, but Wingman Gin allows the refined sophistication of a well-aged whiskey where you can enjoy its’ flavors on a single rock or in a dry martini. Like our Air Force, your taste buds will love to “Aim High!”
Tasting Notes:
*Fresh and fruity aromas of cucumber and green grape skins
