What makes Minturn Whisky Co. unique?

Minturn Whisky Co. crafts small-batch American single malt whisky at 8,000 feet in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. We use 100% malted barley and pure snowmelt from the Holy Cross Wilderness to create a refined, mountain-made spirit that honors Scottish tradition while embracing sustainability.

Is Minturn Whisky Co. sustainable?

Yes. We are an Actively Green Certified business committed to minimizing our environmental footprint. From innovative CO2 capture to renewable energy initiatives and community projects like our Single Malt Snow Melt heat recovery system, sustainability is built into everything we do.

Where is Minturn Whisky made?

Our whisky is crafted in Minturn, Colorado — a historic mountain town nestled between Vail and Beaver Creek. The pure snowmelt we use for proofing flows directly from the Holy Cross Wilderness, giving our whisky its uniquely smooth and balanced character.

What types of whisky does Minturn Whisky Co. offer?

Malt Whisky is our obsession and it's all we make. We offer three distinct expressions of American single malt whisky, each made with 100% malted barley. From smooth, oak-forward blends to lightly peated Highland-inspired whiskies, each bottle reflects the mountain landscape that shapes it.

Can I visit Minturn Whisky Co. for a tasting?

Yes. Our tasting room, The Wee Dram, is open daily from 12–7pm. Guests can enjoy guided tastings, craft cocktails, and local events like Wool + Whisky and Social Club Thursdays. Visit 161 Main Street, Minturn, CO to experience our whiskies firsthand.
