Coors Whiskey Co. Introduces Premium Blended American Malt Whiskey

Coors is introducing a new limited-release Blended American Malt Whiskey that highlights its long-standing expertise in malt. Crafted with Coors and Colorado malt, the whiskey reflects the company’s deep brewing heritage and focus on quality ingredients. The expression has already earned early recognition, highlighting the strength of its flavor and craftsmanship.

Coors Whiskey Co. Blended American Malt Whiskey has been available since Father’s Day in Colorado and Illinoisat at a suggested retail price of $79.99, according to a press release from Molson Coors Beverage Company.

For Coors Spirits Co., the creation of a malt-forward whiskey is a natural evolution of a legacy built on malt itself. Since 1878, Coors has refined the craft and science of malting, helping shape flavor profiles enjoyed by consumers across beer and whiskey alike. With Coors Whiskey Co. Blended American Malt Whiskey, the company brings that expertise to center stage, transforming one of its most important ingredients into the foundation of a premium whiskey experience.

While aging plays a critical role, this whiskey begins where all great whiskey does—with the grain.

“Most whiskey stories begin in the barrel. Ours begins with the grain,” said Susie McInerney, Sr. Marketing Manager, Coors Spirits Co. “Malt has been part of the Coors story since the earliest days of the company, rooted in long-standing malting tradition. This release represents a natural evolution for Coors Whiskey Co. and is proof that what goes into our whiskey—down to the grain—makes all the difference, and creates something truly differentiated in the category.”

Crafted using Coors Malt and Colorado malt, the whiskey reflects the same commitment to quality ingredients that has defined the Coors name for generations. As the home of one of North America’s largest malting facilities, Coors has influenced flavor profiles across both the brewing and whiskey industries. The release builds on that legacy, demonstrating how exceptional malt can shape the character of a premium whiskey from the very beginning. 

Bottled at 110.5 proof and featuring a blend of 8-year-old whiskeys, Coors Whiskey Co. Blended American Malt Whiskey delivers a vibrant and layered sensory profile.

Tasting Notes: 

Nose: Aromas of fresh plum and crunchy cookie, fused with mouthwatering cinnamon raisin bread, cooked Granny Smith apples and dried fruit

Palate: Succulent pear, salted melon and stone fruit coat the palate, followed by fruity, creamy, lightly smoked dark chocolate-covered cherry and rich toffee notes, before giving way to peat and spice.

Finish: Charred oak, vanilla and a dry warming spice. 

Ahead of its release, Coors Whiskey Co. Blended American Malt Whiskey earned a score of 98 and Gold Outstanding from the 2026 International Wine & Spirits Awards, in addition to Double Platinum honors at the 2026 ASCOT Awards for both taste and label design which features a custom illustration of the historic Coors Malt House, a premium copper cork, a front bottle medallion, from a limited run of 1,200 individually numbered bottles.

The release is the first of more innovative American whiskey expressions from Coors Whiskey Co., with additional exploration and innovation to come.
