10th Mountain is a distillery born in the Rockies, where altitude, grit, and view shape more than just the labels—they shape the whiskey. Founded in Vail, Colorado, this brand pays tribute to the 10th Mountain Division, fittingly echoing their courage, adventure, and dedication. It’s whiskey made with awareness: of history, of the mountains, of what it means to live high and walk hard.

What sets 10th Mountain apart is how it blends local character with craftsmanship. The team leans heavily on Colorado ingredients where they can, embraces small-batch techniques, and balances innovation with tradition: wooden barrels that add flavor, fine mash bills, and attention to detail that you can taste. They want each pour to feel like more than a drink—it’s a sense of place, of altitude, of cold air, smoked wood, and ripened grain.

There’s also a sense of mission with 10th Mountain. It doesn’t only want to make good whiskey—it wants to support community, honor veterans, celebrate the mountain lifestyle. The spirits are as much about connection and story as about flavor. When you pick up a bottle, you get that dual promise: something real in the glass, and something meaningful behind it.
