NOCO Distillery, an award-winning craft distillery based in Fort Collins, Colorado, is pushing the boundaries of modern American distilling with a series of bold new releases and significant domestic and international market expansion. The distillery is introducing cask strength bourbons and true HAZMAT-level spirits exceeding 70% ABV, all offered as single barrel expressions with innovative barrel finishing techniques.
Among the latest releases is Bourbon 4x – Second Edition, a four-times-distilled bourbon aged in a four-year seasoned oak barrel and bottled at cask strength, 64.65% ABV. Despite the high proof, it shows remarkable balance and elegance, with caramelized brown sugar, vanilla, and orange peel, while clove-and-cocoa depth carries into a long finish touched by espresso and chocolate-covered orange.
NOCO has also released a Port Barrel Finished Grape Brandy, bottled at 73.9% ABV, qualifying as HAZMAT and potentially ranking among the highest-ABV brandy releases ever produced. Additionally, the distillery introduced its first HAZMAT agave spirit, TOKILYA – Don Sebastian, crafted from 100% Blue Agave, aged more than four years in new American oak barrels, and bottled at 72.5% ABV. An upcoming release, "Sanguis Christi," is a high-rye bourbon finished in Ruby Port and Pedro Ximénez (PX) Sherry barrels and bottled at 64% ABV.
"Innovation is key, and our master distiller is pushing the boundaries of craft distilling to a whole new level," said Josh Green, Distillery Manager at NOCO Distillery.
NOCO Distillery produces more than 30 different spirits and marked its most successful year to date in 2025. In 2026, the distillery is expanding distribution into Wisconsin while launching internationally in Hong Kong and Switzerland, with additional global markets currently in development.
