NOCO Distillery was launched in 2018 by Sébastien Gavillet and Leif Jensen, who had occupied their Fort Collins space since 2016 while perfecting recipes and adapting formulas to the city’s elevation.[1] Gavillet, a Swiss‑born industry consultant, grew up around the wine trade, became a professional wine and whiskey taster and authored several books before turning to distilling.[1] The partners stated that their goal was to create a “true craft” distillery rather than producing large volumes, and Jensen, a native of Norway, said they hoped to build something special for the local community.[1] Because of Gavillet’s long career and industry connections, distribution agreements were in place across the United States from the outset, and the duo indicated plans to open a larger facility and tasting room elsewhere in Fort Collins.[1]
