FAQ
How should I drink this?
This is a true holiday whisky. Something to break out for the special occasions the season has to offer. Whether you like it neat, with a splash of water or with an ice cube, this is a complex whisky that is best enjoyed slowly. We always suggest a Glencairn glass to complete the experience, it’s wide mouth lets the more delicate notes come forward.
Can I visit to try it before I buy?
This is the one whisky we do not offer tastes of. With only a few left in existence, we can’t waste a single drop.
Where can I buy a bottle?
We are not selling this in liquor stores. Bottles are available at the Wee Dram in Minturn and through our online store.
Can you ship to my state?
We ship to most US states directly from our partners at Mash Networks on shop.minturnwhisky.com. Shipping availability varies by state due to alcohol regulations – you’ll see your options at checkout. .
The Fly on the Bottle
We’ve tucked a real fly fishing fly inside the tin closure of every bottle – because here in Minturn, fly fishing isn’t just a pastime; it’s part of life. Each fly is handcrafted and fully functional, designed to actually catch fish in our local waters, including the Eagle River.
This little fly represents more than just a nod to our mountain surroundings – it’s a symbol of connection. Connection to the wild rivers that carve through our valley, to the traditions of crafting something with care, and to the spirit of adventure that flows through everything we do.
So whether you use it on the river or keep it as a keepsake, know that this fly, like our whisky, is made to honor Minturn’s untamed beauty. Tight lines and smooth drams.
The Single Malt Whisky has a PMD (Pale Morning Dun) External Body Parachute size 16 made especially for us by Eagle River Outfitters.
Our Labels, A Nod to History
Our labels are based on color schemes we discovered while browsing transcontinental steamship passenger tickets from the early 1900s. For example, our Blended Malt label (above) is based on this steerage Passenger Contract for Passage on the Cunard Line Steamer RMS Ivernia, Departing Copenhagen to Minnesota, via Liverpool and Boston. Dated 11 March 1905.
