Deerhammer Distilling Company Our distilling is steeped in tradition, but our methods are infused with curiosity and creativity. We’re redefining the flavor & future of American whiskey

At Deerhammer, our distilling is steeped in whiskey history, but our methods are infused with curiosity and creativity. We’ve analyzed each step of the whiskey-making process, to examine the impact each choice makes on our final product. Often, we’ve stayed with time-honored techniques—like our copper pot stills. Yet we’ve also found unexplored territory within that tradition by playing with our grain blend and opting for the wilder side of fermentation. The first taste of that experimentation is our cornerstone single malt. Starting its life as a porter-style 100% malted barley mash, it’s further shaped by open-air fermentation before passing through our stills and maturing in charred virgin white oak. Boasting a complex profile with notes of coffee and chocolate, you won’t mistake it for its Scottish or Irish counterparts. It’s a uniquely American product, with an exceptional taste of place. For us, that place is our home in Buena Vista, Colorado: a historic adventure town at the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Built on the banks of the Arkansas River, its famed whitewater currents are the reason our east coast founders first moved west. Each batch of our whiskeys has a touch of that hometown spirit, and we encourage you to take your first sip with an explorer’s state of mind.

6yr Sakura finish American single malt… dropping early 2027.

Our 7 year aged Buena Vista Brandy is a solid pour on its own, but mixed up as an apple brandy sour with a float of sweet vermouth… bonkers! So damn good.

With Fall creeping up quick, a bottle of Deerhammer Apple Brandy (available at the distillery only) will have you feeling ready for a proper toast to the season.

Name another spot that’s mixing up such a bad ass sidecar made with their own 6 year aged brandy. We’ll wait. While you’re thinking, might as well just head on over to the Deerhammer tasting room for a sidecar of your own!
