CRAFTING A FUTURE FOR COLORADO AGRICULTURE
Our dedication to the grain-to-glass movement brings with it the responsibility to craft a sustainable future for agriculture in Colorado. 100 Year Lease is a documentary film produced by Root Shoot Malting and Traverse Image about the significance of the family farm, and the importance of preserving agricultural lands in Colorado. Rooted in tradition and seeded by the support of our community, we believe we are wholeheartedly: SAVING FARMS ONE WHISKEY AT A TIME™
MALTED
Artfully crafted whiskey comes from caringly crafted malt. Root Shoot Whiskey is malted in a state-of-the-art facility located right on our farm. Using German-engineered equipment from Kaspar-Schulz, our skillfully trained staff produces award-winning malts from our own Olander Farms grain. After spending their lifetime on our farm, our malts finally grow up and leave home only when they’re distilled into barrels so they can age into this delicious American Single Malt Whiskey. From our grain, to your glass.
GROWN
100% Colorado, 100% Root Shoot. The grain in this American Single Malt Whiskey spends its entire lifespan on our farm, from sprouting seed to finished malt. For us, “locally grown” means right outside our malthouse doors, where weekly field walks and daily observations allow us to ensure our plants are pampered, productive, and properly loved. Under the watchful eye of the Olander family, our tiny grains receive the attention and care to grow into something great.
SOWN
Root Shoot Whiskey begins with seeds sown into land that has been farmed by our family for five generations. Nestled in the shadows of the Rocky Mountains, Olander Farms believes that great whiskey begins with great grain and that great grain comes from healthy soil. Our farm is committed to implementing regenerative agriculture practices. From creative approaches to improving soil biology to the latest strategies for sequestering carbon, we seek to respect the land that has sustained us for nearly 100 years.
