Feisty Spirits Releases American Roots Whiskey

Millet whiskey is the newest addition to the Feisty Nectars series

FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Oct. 7, 2014 – Feisty Spirits, Fort Collins first distillery, today released American Roots, the newest addition to their Feisty Nectars series. This whiskey gets its name and flavor from a root tea that is infused into a whiskey made from millet.

“All of our flavored whiskeys in the Feisty Nectars series start with a smooth, mellow whiskey and are than infused with delicious flavors from natural ingredients,” said Jamison Gulden, co-founder of Feisty Spirits. “American Roots is flavored with root tea and has essences of root beer and chai with a hint of anise.”

American Roots is made from locally sourced millet grown at Golden Prairie in Nunn, Colo. Millet whiskeys have a strong nutmeg and allspice aroma, with wild flower notes. At first sip, this whiskey will be smooth and transition into a more saffront-like at the end. The hint of anise at the end of American Roots is a result of the millet. It is then aged for a short period of time in oak barrels.

American Roots is available today in the Feisty Spirits tasting room at 1708 E. Lincoln Ave Unit 1 Fort Collins, CO 80524. It is available in 750ml bottles for $43.

“The hint of anise, similar to that of liquorice and fennel combined with the chai make American Roots the ideal fall whiskey. Pour yourself a neat glass and curl up next to the fire,” said Gulden.
