The fireplace entrance

Go to the ice rink in Beaver Creek Village. Find the Malibu Ski Club. Figure out how to walk through the fireplace – and you’ll find the best Old Fashioned you’ve ever had.

Something is being built in downtown Minturn. A destination distillery designed from the ground up — architecturally stunning, operationally extraordinary, and rooted in the values that brought us here in the first place. This is where it’s headed.

    The Wee Dram is a stunning space and a wonderful addition to the charming small town of Minturn…Their whisky is the only one in the area made with snow melt from Holy Cross Mountain – making their whiskey so smooth and unique from anything else we’ve had in Colorado! If you’re one for interiors, you’ll find that they didn’t leave out a single detail. .
    – Kathleen B.

  • “If you even dabble in single malts, this is a must stop.”

    It’s a very cozy little spot with a great cocktail menu and some excellent whiskey. I’m a huge fan of everything they’re doing, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds. If you even dabble in single malts, this is a must stop.
    – Alex M.
