high-performance sales reps

to own territories across Colorado ( Denver

and

About Distillery 291 Distillery 291 is one of the

most awarded craft whiskey brands

in the United States—born in Colorado Springs and built on a commitment to doing things differently.

We don’t follow tradition for the sake of it.

From our signature use of aspen staves to bold, high-proof expressions, 291 creates whiskey that stands apart—and wins. With

300+ national and global whiskey awards , we’ve built a reputation for pushing boundaries while delivering exceptional quality.

But what truly sets 291 apart isn’t just the product—it’s how we show up in the market.

We’re building a brand that lives inside the best bars, restaurants, and retailers across Colorado. A brand that bartenders recommend, buyers respect, and customers ask for by name.

That takes more than great whiskey.

It takes great people.

At 291, our sales team isn’t just selling bottles—they’re:

Building relationships that turn into long-term partnerships

Creating experiences through tastings and events

Turning first placements into full-scale programs

We are a team of doers, builders, and closers who take pride in winning in our home market.

If you’re someone who wants to be part of a brand that is growing fast, winning nationally, and still has room to make your mark—there’s no better place to do it than here in Colorado.
