- Colorado Springs, CO (1888PressRelease) September 30, 2021 - Today, 1350 Distilling of Colorado Springs, Colorado announced the release of their newest product, “Old Blood & Guts’ Strawberry Flavored Vodka”.

“First we start by making our Minuteman Vodka from Colorado refined sugar beets and Rocky Mountain water right here in our custom-made ‘Rocket Still,’” owner and head distiller, Phill Bragg stated. “Then we only add real strawberries—no artificial flavors or colors to make a beautifully deep red spirit that is so refreshing and not overly sweet.”
The infused spirit has only been offered in cocktails since 1350 Distilling opened their doors in November 2019. The large demand for the strawberry vodka led the business to start bottling and offering Old Blood & Guts’ for purchase to take and enjoy at home.
Old Blood & Guts’ Strawberry Flavored Vodka is the ninth bottled spirit offered by 1350 Distilling. It is the fourth spirit that is gluten free and the third spirit that is a true Colorado Proud product.
Each of 1350 Distilling products represents a different branch of the military or first responders. The Minuteman Vodka is dedicated to the United States Army and Old Blood & Guts is dedicated to WWII legend, U.S. Army General George S. Patton. The name was one of many nicknames General Patton had acquired during his lifetime of soldiering.
1350 Distilling’s name is inspired by the 13 stripes and 50 stars of the Star Spangled Banner. The business is veteran, teacher and women-owned. Ten percent of profits are pledged towards local veteran and family non-profit charities.
