Today I’m joined by Ryan Thompson and Stepehen Jacobs with 10th Mountain Whiskey & Spirits Company in Vail, Colorado. Named in honor of the 10th Mountain Army Division that originated in the area at a place called Camp Hale in the 1940s. This was a specific division set up to train for mountain warfare tactics in WWII. After the war these warfighters came back and wanted to share the sport of skiing and mountain lifestyle to others. Over 62 different ski resorts, ski schools, and ski patrols were started by 10th mountain vets across the US. Vail Mountain being one of them. This is a tribute spirit company to all the 10 Mountain veterans and all who enjoy the mountain lifestyle.
To try the whiskey from 10th Mountain and to learn more of the story behind this remarkable whiskey company go to www.rackhousewhiskeyclub.com. Make sure to watch all the featured short whiskey films from all the distilleries and whiskey brands we feature.
As we always say: Whiskey stories like these show themselves through the flavors of the whiskey. Not the tasting notes a stranger told you to taste. We hope you enjoy!
