Skiing the slopes isn’t the only activity you should be doing when you visit Vail, Colorado. In fact, you should make it a priority to visit 10th Mountain Whiskey and Spirits. With a tasting room in Vail and the distillery in Gypsum, this unique spirits company has four different whiskeys, and three other spirits that include a vodka, brandy, and a cordial. You can find more about 10th Mountain at their website here.
Check out this week’s episode where founder Ryan Thompson joins Old-Fashioned Football to not only talk about their whiskey, but also about the history behind the name of their distillery. Named for the 10th Mountain Division, Ryan and his distillery continue to give forward to military causes. Through their spirits company they pay tribute to the brave soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division that trained just south of Vail in the 1940’s.
