Fraser Valley Distilling

Overview of the Distillery

Fraser Valley Distilling is a family-owned distillery in Fraser, Colorado, known for ’approachable spirits at high altitude’. The place combines production of single malt whiskey, Colorado bourbons, agave- and gin-based spirits with a visitor-friendly setup: tours, tastings, events and an on-site restaurant located near Winter Park.

History

The distillery opened as a family-owned project in 2018 and has since been working to establish itself as a local hub for artisanal spirits in the Fraser Valley. The location along the mountains and proximity to Winter Park have made the site a natural gathering point for both locals and visitors. From the outset, the concept has combined production, experience and food, and the distillery hosts regular events and markets that reflect its connection to the local community.

Raw Materials and Production

The range spans from single malt whiskey to Colorado bourbon, gin and agave-based spirits. For its water supply, it uses aquifer-fed waters, and the distillery highlights the use of fermentation science in its work. Production is driven by in-house distillers, and the distinctive high-altitude nature is part of the site's identity. In addition to the distillation itself, experiences such as tours and tastings are integrated into the operation, reflecting a practical, place-based approach to the craft.

Whiskeys

Fraser Valley Distilling offers a broad, but category-based portfolio: single malt whiskeys, Colorado bourbons, gin and agave spirits. The range is presented as approachable and mountain-crafted, and the products naturally feature in the distillery's tastings and food pairings in the restaurant. There is also a lively events calendar, where releases and special tastings may appear from time to time.
