WHAT WE LOVE

You never forget your first sip

In the heart of Colorado, Ridge River Whiskey pairs a deep connection to the rugged Colorado landscape with the timeless art of distilling. We’re not just making whiskey, we’re honoring a craft that celebrates the rich bounty of our local environment—from the pure, crisp waters of the Rocky Mountains to the golden grains cultivated on our sun-drenched plains. We take pride in offering the essence of our craft to all, inviting everyone to savor an artisan whiskey infused with dedication, purpose, and a hint of mountain spirit in every bottle.
