Colin Keegan, a native of England, found himself moving to New Mexico with his family. He has always appreciated good Scotch and Brandy, so when the economy took a turn in 2009 he closed down his architectural business in order to concentrate on building a distillery where he could produce his own style of these traditional spirits. For Colin, the birth of Santa Fe Spirits in 2010 was the dream of a lifetime. The distillery now produces a variety of brandies, but the cornerstone spirit is the ColKegan Single Malt Whiskey.
Ryan Maybee, a Kansas City bartender who opened his bar Manifesto in the basement of the Rieger Hotel building, teamed up with Andy Rieger to re-open the family's iconic distillery and recreate the Kansas City Whiskey, a blend of Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Light Corn Whiskey, and Straight Rye Whiskey, all aged at least 4 years.
