Our Distillery & Visiting

Hogback Distillery is named after the mountain range that runs along the full length of the Colorado Rockies, called the Dakota Hogback Ridge. Our distillery is located to the east of central Boulder, Colorado, close to Arapahoe and 55th Street, while our tasting room is in Estes park at 857 Moraine Ave. As a micro distillery we value your interest and welcome you to visit us to learn how our whiskies are made.

Enjoying our Whiskey

To fully appreciate our whiskies as intended, we encourage you to try them neat and at the strength we bottle them. (Allowing the spirit time to breath just like a red wine). If your in the mood for something lighter then we have crafted a few cocktails to go with a specific whisky.

Midnight Cask Club

Interested in having your own unique bottles of whisky, perhaps even distilled by you? Then consider the Midnight Cask Club. Created to give you a true feeling of ownership, the club is so much more than just buying a cask. Perfect for business gifts or for people with lots of friends!
