Be One With the Mountain Lifestyle
Vail entrepreneurs Ryan Thompson and Christian Avignon brought life into the 10th Mountain Whiskey & Spirit Co. Before founding the distillery, Ryan embraced the mountain lifestyle and operated a successful restaurant. Christian’s grandfather was part of the original Mountain soldiers, thus giving the distillery its name.
