Golden Moon Colorado Mugishōchū was developed by Master Distiller Stephen Gould, after falling in love with Shōchūwhile living in Japan years ago.

​Golden Moon Colorado Mugishōchū is made from 100% two-row barley, koji, and yeast. It is fermented and distilled using traditional methods of production. Our barley is grown in Colorado and the surrounding states and malted near our distillery in Golden Colorado.  We use organic brown rice koji. Our water is Rocky Mountain Water from the Clear Creek and Montezuma watersheds. Golden Moon Colorado Mugishōchū is a unique combination of Japanese Tradition and Rocky Mountain Colorado ingredients, making it a totally unique Mugishōchū spirit.

Catrina History

La Catrina was a zinc etching originally created in 1910 by Mexican printmaker Jose Guadalupe Posada. He was known for his images of political and social satire. She became a symbolic figure during the time of the Mexican Revolution. 

​La Catrina is often associated with Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a pre-Colombian Meso-American observace of death and life that is celebrated on November 2nd in all of Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula and parts of Central America.

​La Catrina in her elegance broad-brimmed hat first appeared in a satirical engraving that mocked those who pretended to be of a higher class, even if that meant starving, and going painfully thin, or without flesh. 

​To this day, La Catrina continues to be a symbolic figure. She has become part of the imagery for Dia de los muertos but also she can be found in books, cartoons, posters, figurines and artwork spanning over 100 years.

This artwork was created around 1910-1913 by José Guadalupe Posada in an etching called “La Calavera Catrina,” originally known as “La Calavera Garbancera.” She was created as a satirical image. Now we adapt Mexico's great folflore into a one of a kind Tequila Package, Dona Celia Tequila. Made out of ceramic and hand painted designs, this doll not only has a beautiful design but has a high quality 100% Agave Tequila to compliment inside.

About the Brand

Hey there! We’re Mom Water, a fruit infused vodka water. That’s right, no bubbles — just pure still water (#drinkslikewater #notaseltzer). There’s also no sugar, no carbs, no artificial flavors or preservatives, and each drink is only 90 calories! We were created by Bryce and Jill Morrison, a southern Indiana couple in search of the perfect poolside drink that wasn’t loaded with sugar and could keep them feeling refreshed on a hot summer day. Jill was never a big seltzer fan or the bloating and headaches that followed after having a few, so she set out to create a light, non-carbonated alcoholic beverage.

After becoming a self-declared mixologist, Jill created a drink that was the perfect, all natural, sugar-free mix of tasty and boozy, and it didn’t take long for it to become a staple among her (and Bryce's!) friends. However, one of their kids accidentally grabbed one of Jill’s specially concocted water bottles from the cooler, so Bryce suggested she properly label them and Jill began to scribble "Mom" on the side. Thus, Mom Water was born.

A WORLD CLASS GIN, MADE IN AFRICA

Using botanicals plucked from the Baobab tree of life, our African sourced botanicals bring our range of premium gins to life, with a refreshing & subtly sweet African citrus flavor. Bayab, is a gin that breathes life into every occasion.

A BEAUTIFULLY TASTING GIN FROM THE HEART OF KWAZULU-NATAL

What better way to breathe life into the world of gin, than creating an award winning gin, with a botanical plucked from the tree of life? Bayab’s story begins on the terrains of Africa where the Baobab tree of life grows. This legendary tree provides shelter, water and produces the Baobab fruit, the botanical that gives our gins their refreshingly sweet citrus flavour. 

BOTANICALS FROM BAOBAB TREE OF LIFE

The baobab fruit grows on the baobab tree, which is native to the African savannah. The baobab tree is one of the most iconic trees found on earth and is otherwise known as the ‘tree of life’. The Baobab is not just a tree, it’s the focal point of communities, the source of nourishment and the provider of shelter.

It is found in 32 countries across Africa and can live up to 5000 years and reach over 30 meters high and 50 meters in circumference. You may even recognise it as the tree that Rafiki calls home in Disney’s Lion King and in the Avatar too!

AN IRRESISTIBLE BOTANICAL BLEND.

The baobab fruit’s tangy sherbet taste is complemented with bountiful African botanicals of Juniper berries, Coriander, Rosemary, Cinnamon, Coarse Salt, Lemon Peel, and Orange Peel, it’s then blended with the purest water from the Midlands of KwaZulu-Natal. This dazzling combination creates refreshing citrus flavored gins that invigorate and delight with every sip.

Our burnt orange and Marula brings an African citrus-forward expression to the range. Bayab Burnt Orange is distilled with Marula fruit picked from the elephant tree as well as baobab fruit, cinnamon, burnt orange peel, coriander and sea salt, resulting in a unique citrus African Gin.

Our special rose water edition, brings an African floral expression to the range. Bayab African Rose gin combines botanicals, such as baobab fruit, African rose petals, Rose water, coriander and sea salt, resulting in a slightly sweeter and floral gin.

While Riverine contains traditional gin botanicals like Juniper, Coriander, and Orris Root, it is not a gin proxy. Rather, it is a nuanced, sophisticated spirit in its own right.

TASTING NOTES

NOSE: Bright sumac fades to cool mint.

PALATE: Citrus, sorrel, and coriander lend a vibrant piquancy to start, layered with moss and earth.

FINISH: Deep forest notes from juniper and parsley linger on the rear palate, as rosemary imparts a long herbal finish.

Limited Release

This rare spirit grabs your attention with bold peppery and cinnamon notes, and then soothes your tastebuds with a sweet finish of brown sugar, apple and warm oaky undertones. This perfect winter whiskey is our first rye Cellar Collection release and is available for a limited time.

ICE CIDER FINISH

TASTING NOTES

CLASSIC COCKTAILS

Crafthouse Classic Cocktails are made from the highest quality all-natural ingredients. They All of our ready to drink cocktails contain no artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives. 

We use only exceptional spirits, collaborating with the finest producers (many of whom are our friends). You will never find malt, low-grade grain neutral spirits or unnamed “brewed alcohols” in our pre-mixed cocktails. 

Each Crafthouse Classic Cocktail is made just as it would be at a cocktail bar. We simply make them in larger batches. It is important to note that unlike many RTD’s (ready to drink) in the market, our cocktails each have their own ABV (alcohol by volume). You would never expect a Moscow Mule and an Old Fashioned to contain the same percentage alcohol, would you? 

Our cocktails in cans are not watered down. They have full and distinct flavor while still maintaining an accessible profile. Carefully curating our lineup, we worked diligently to provide something for every taste, occasion and mood. 

In alignment with our team’s individual concern for the impact on the environment, Crafthouse Cocktails strives to make sustainable decisions. We recently moved to 100% recyclable aluminum for our 200mls bottle and are introducing a new 1.75L bag-in-box option with less packaging. Our 750mls glass bottle is also 100% recyclable and reusable. 

SMOKY MARGARITA

Our Smoky Margarita takes the iconic Margarita to the next level with the addition of one of our favorite spirits, mezcal. Traditional Oaxacan mezcal and Premium Blanco tequila make up the base of the drink, imbuing it with the perfect amount of smoke and agave presence. To that “split base” we add fresh lime, then a touch of sugar. After enjoying a smoked margarita, you may never drink a standard Margarita again! 

Each canned Margarita we make is held to the highest of standards. Our smoked Margarita is full of flavor and is the perfect drink for just about any social occasion. Whether you are looking for a drink to enjoy by the pool or a canned Margarita for your next social gathering, our smoky margarita is perfect.

You can order our Smoky Margarita in cans or take advantage of our margarita box.

Serve our Smoky Margarita over ice, garnished with a lime, salt rim, or orange twist.

13.9% ABV ✴ 105 CALORIES PER SERVING. AVAILABLE IN 200MLS CANS.

Our History

Golden Moon Distillery was founded by Stephen Gould and Dr. Karen Knight in early 2008, specifically to produce premium artisan whiskies, brandies, liquors, and liqueurs using the best available ingredients and made with the same type of artisan production processes utilized by distillers making premium products in the mid-to-late 1800s.

​The heart of Golden Moon Distillery is Mr. Gould’s world-class research library containing hundreds of rare books on distillation and related products and processes, some dating back to the 1500s. Most of the collection dates from the late 1700s to the early 1900s, though there are a few titles that are much older, or newer.

​Maison De La Vie currently has four antique stills at our pilot plant in Golden. Our stills date from the early to mid-1900’s.

​Golden Moon Colorado Single Malt Whiskey is distilled from 100% malted barley, grown in Colorado and the surrounding states. Our Whiskey is malted in Colorado, aged for a minimum of one year in new oak casks, and then finished in used oak casks. Golden Moon Colorado Single Malt Whiskey is a uniquely Colorado Whiskey.
