Deerhammer is proud to be steeped in tradition and committed to crafting whiskey that captures the spirit of Colorado. Whether it's our trademark single with its bold, robust flavor or our limited-run single barrel , each bottle is created with an eye for detail and a passion for quality.

Our commitment to quality begins with selecting only the finest locally-sourced ingredients, including corn grown on family farms and from high-mountain snowmelt. We take great pride in our craftsmanship — all of our whiskeys are carefully distilled in small batches usng traditional methods, such as pot stills and open-top fermenters.

We also understand that crafting great whiskey takes time — so while most distillers rush teir process to get product to market quickly, we take our time. Our flagship single malt whiskey spends up to five years aging in charred oak before it's ready to bottle — and it shows! Each sip reveals an exceptional depth of flavor that can only be achieved through careful maturation over time.
