SCOTTISH INSPIRED | MOUNTAIN MADE
Made with pure, alpine water from the Mount of the Holy Cross Wilderness
From powder days to river runs, from campfire conversations to quiet nights under the stars - your journey deserves a whisky to match. Crafted for those who seek adventure and honor tradition, Minturn Whisky is the reward waiting at the end of the trail.
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.
Explore Our Whisky
The Minturn Whisky Co. 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, a water source completely unique to Minturn. This mountain town is fiercely independent, and surrounded by unspoiled beauty. It’s the perfect place to make exceptional Colorado Single Malt Whisky.
Our Mountain Story

Our tiny tasting room, the Wee Dram, clocks in at a mere 135 square feet and has a cozy pub atmosphere. Sip a fine dram by the fire while the snow is falling, or enjoy a cocktail watching the sun set in the warmer months. While you’re here, you’ll be part of the slower pace and meet the friendly locals that make Minturn so charming.
Plan Your Visit
“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
