BOULDER - A micro-distillery founded in Longmont in 2008 is expanding and moving its operation to Boulder.

Roundhouse Spirits, which produces a gin and coffee liqueur, signed a lease for 4,756 square feet at 5311 Western Ave., doubling the space it had in Longmont at 1335 Sherman Drive.

Dan Marks with Emerald Real Estate Group and Peter Aweida with Westland Development helped broker the  real estate deal.

Roundhouse Spirits' President Ted Palmer said the company is growing - increasing sales 120 percent since October 2009 - and recently signed a deal with Republic National Distributing Co. to further increase those sales.

Palmer expects to move the distillery to Boulder in early April. The larger location will allow Roundhouse to install two new stills - one eight times as big, and the other 50 times as big as the current stills, Nelson said.

Roundhouse Spirits plans to debut several new products by the end of 2010, including a bourbon, American whiskey and an aged version of its gin.

Its current Roundhouse Gin and Corretto Coffee Liqueur can be found in most liquor stores throughout the Boulder Valley and in large liquor stores in Colorado and Wyoming. The drinks also are served at local high-end restaurants such as The Kitchen, Salt and Black Cat.
