How Spring44 Distilling Elevated Spirits with Local Honey

At Spring44 Distilling, we’re passionate about crafting spirits that not only embody quality and innovation but also celebrate our local community. One of the ways we achieve this is through our unique use of local honey from High Altitude Honey and the Colorado Honey Company. This commitment to local sourcing adds a distinctive touch to our spirits and supports the vibrant honey-producing community in Colorado.



The Sweet Story of Local Honey

High Altitude Honey LLC is a small, off-the-grid family business based in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Located at an elevation of 8,500 feet and more than 20 miles from the nearest town, their hives are nestled in the middle of a national forest, ensuring that their honey is among the purest you can find. Their honey is a high-elevation wildflower mix, characterized by its exceptionally light, sweet, and creamy texture.


The Colorado Honey Company offers a range of honey varieties, each capturing the essence of Colorado’s diverse landscapes. Their honey is prized for its depth of flavor and purity, making it an ideal ingredient for our distilling process.



The Role of Honey in Spring44 Spirits

Incorporating local honey into our distillation process not only enhances the flavor of our spirits but also connects our products to the rich traditions of Colorado. Here’s how honey makes a difference in our distillery:


Unique Flavor Profile

  • The use of high-quality, locally sourced honey imparts a subtle, yet distinctive sweetness to our Spring44 Honey Vodka. This natural sweetness complements the other ingredients and helps to create complex and harmonious flavor profile.


Supporting Local Agriculture

  • Our commitment to local honey supports Colorado’s beekeepers and helps sustain the local agricultural economy. It’s a way for us to give back to the community that contributes so much to our success.


Sustainability and Quality

  • Local honey is not only fresher but also contributes to more sustainable practices. By reducing the distance ingredients travel, we minimize our environmental impact and ensure that our Spring44 Honey Vodka is crafted with the highest quality ingredients.
