Why 10th Mountain Bourbon?
10th Mountain Bourbon is more than just a bottle of whiskey—it's inspired by the soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division, a legendary alpine military unit.

Here’s what makes 10th Mountain Bourbon worth featuring:
- Tasting Notes: On the nose, you’ll be greeted by inviting aromas of vanilla, caramel, and oak. The palate delivers a balanced blend of butterscotch, toasted nuts, and a hint of peppery spice. The finish is long, warm, and slightly sweet, with lingering notes of vanilla and toasted oak. It’s a bourbon that’s easy to sip but offers enough complexity to keep you coming back for more.
- Crafted in the Rockies: 10th Mountain Bourbon is crafted with pure Rocky Mountain water, giving it a unique, crisp profile that stands out from other bourbons. It’s aged in new American oak barrels, which lend it a rich, woody backbone without overpowering the subtler flavors.
- A Smooth Sipper: This is a great bourbon for both newcomers and seasoned drinkers alike. It’s approachable at 92 proof, offering enough warmth without overwhelming the palate. Whether you’re sipping it neat, on the rocks, or mixing it into your favorite cocktail, it’s versatile and enjoyable in any setting.
