Colorado Distilling Co., located near Vail, has targeted the San Luis Valley for the site of its next distillery. Citing the quality of the water, the firm plans to build a plant to generate 5,000 barrels of cognac and/or scotch per year. The proposed operation would create 15 to 20 jobs and the plant will buy 2,000 tons of local barley a year. Construction is tentatively scheduled for summer.
