Your Story. Your Adventure. Your Whisky.

Minturn Whisky Co. tasting room near Vail, CO, luxury whisky experience

For those who share our obsession with Colorado Single Malt Whisky…

We don’t make vodka. Nor gin. Not even a bourbon.


Instead, we focus exclusively on crafting premium single malt whisky from 100% malted barley, pristine Rocky Mountain snowmelt, and sustainably-minded practices. It’s how we capture the true spirit of Colorado. Authentic, adventurous, and just a little wild.

Our distillery is nestled near Vail, in Colorado’s last great ski town, Minturn. Our whisky is cut with the waters  of the Holy Cross Mountain Wilderness for a taste that is truly unique to Minturn. We love our mountain town, and we love making whisky here.

“The Wee Dram is a fortress of finer things, where the only thing smoother than the atmosphere is the whisky —strong, robust, and unapologetically good. Each sip is a reminder that some things in life are meant to be savored.”

— Robert, 5-star Google Review
