The Enthusiast

Have someone on your list who loves a good whiskey without any pretense? We have our two flagship releases that are sure to satisfy.

Tenderfoot Malt Whiskey

Tenderfoot American Malt whiskey is made from three types of malt barley (including two-row plus a blend of chocolate and cherry wood malts), malt rye and malt wheat to give it balance with a hint of smoke, chocolate and a long spicy finish. It’s not a “Single Malt” since we use malted rye and malted wheat in the mashbill, rather this is a whiskey that is pioneering the return of the little-known category of Malt whiskey. This young whiskey’s age is belied by the intense effects of aging at 7089ft (2159m) in the Colorado mountains. Aged two-years in #1 Char New American oak barrels, and bottled at 45% (90 proof).

Alpine Rye Whiskey

Alpine Rye features a mash bill of 73% malt-rye and 27% specialty barley malts. Aged a minimum of two years in new charred American oak barrels. Spicy rye malt and specialty barley malts make a unique, assertive rye whiskey that has a flavor profile of smoky rye spice, followed by a hint of dark chocolate, orange peel, and cinnamon toast and finishes with caramel, coffee and spice. Bottled at 49% ABV, Limited Supplies.

The Sunday Funday

For the person on your list who loves to enjoy Sunday Brunch, especially the bottomless Bloody Mary bar, we recommend our San Luis Valley Potato Vodka. The distilling process for this vodka begins with Colorado potatoes grown 50 miles south of our distillery in the San Luis Valley. We then blend our triple-distilled vodka with water from Colorado fourteener snowmelt. Winner of the 2021 American Craft Spirits Association “Best in Vodka”!
