Exhibit A: the distillery’s Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey, the light and smooth award-winning flagship label. Have a sip of it, along with Wyoming Whiskey’s other products, after your guided tour of the company’s distillery in Kirby . According to its website, Backwards Distilling Company was “born of an appreciation for fine spirits and a propensity for the unusual.” True to those words, Backwards adds a dash of the exotic to its small batches of vodka, rum and gin. Taste light citrus flavors in its Contortionist Gin, or the Sword Swallower Rum, made with organic cane juice and finished in tequila barrels. To see how these and other Backwards liquors are made, sign up for a guided tour of the distillery in Mills , just outside of Casper. Other Wyoming distilleries worth checking out include Koltiska Distillery in Sheridan , where visitors can ride to the facility via horse-drawn carriage for behind-the-scenes tours (operating seasonally, May–August). When you’re visiting Jackson, make Jackson Hole Still Works a stop on your itinerary. There, you’ll find small batch spirits they make, which include Highwater Vodka and Great Grey Gin. WY NOT?
