3 Hundred Days Distilling

Specialties

Originally dubbed Colorado’s unofficial slogan in the 1870s, «300 days of Sunshine» encouraged frontiersman to head west. Our products are made in Colorado’s Rocky Mountain Front Range using methods that predate prohibition. 3 Hundred Days of Shine is a smooth moonshine infused with natural ingredients to create an experience that brings you back to a time when quality, craftsmanship and tradition were important.

3 Hundred Days of Shine is the vision of six Colorado families. Our distiller, a retired Army EOD Veteran, produces these small batch recipes by hand. Bringing together the time-​honored traditions of old with the technologies of today, we provide a western American moonshine experience you will remember for its full flavor and easy drinking.

Our distiller makes all of our Western sippin’ ‘shine by hand in delicious flavors — Apple Pie, Margarita Moon, Summertime Strawberry Lemonade, Firebomb, Peach Cobbler, and Colorado Honey. Come on down to the distillery or visit a local retailer to taste for yourself.

We will often feature fun new flavors at the Distillery Tasting Room which will soon include: Pineapple, Wild Berry and Lemon Lime and Sweet Iced Tea.

History

Established in 2014.

Hi I’m Mike Girard and I’m the distiller who hand crafts every batch of 3 Hundred days of Shine. I’m passionate about my family and what I do and I feel so lucky to be able to create something of such quality that makes people happy. I haven’t always been a distiller, however. In fact, I spent the better half of my life in the Army. Twenty-​two years 8 months to be exact; 14 of those years in Explosive Ordnance Disposal or just EOD. Those of you who don’t know what EOD is, these are a special group of military men and woman responsible for disarming and disposing of unexploded military ordnance or for lack of a better word, bombs.

Today, I’m still creating chemical reactions and handling delicate processes and geeking out over our new stills, only it the result is something delicious that I’m ecstatic to share with you all.

Best part of all this, I sucked at chemistry, science, and history in high school.
