10th Mountain Bourbon Tall

A little background

Nestled high in the Colorado Rockies, the 10th Mountain Whiskey & Spirit Company pours more than just Bourbon—it pours legacy. Named in honor of the legendary 10th Mountain Division, famed for their mountain warfare training at Camp Hale during World War II, this distillery brings the rugged spirit of those soldiers into every bottle. Their 10th Mountain Bourbon is an award-winning spirit, priced at $60, bottled at 92 proof, and crafted from a handcrafted blend of Colorado Corn (75%), American Rye (20%), and Malted Barley (5%). The result is a 750ml bottle that makes a lasting impression with its bold flavor and smooth finish—an expression of both heritage and craftsmanship, built for adventurers and whiskey lovers alike.
