Making impressive craft spirits and having fun with it: this is how Axe And the Oak Distillery operates. Founded in 2013 by five friends with a passion for the outdoors, live music, and good whiskey, the distillery offers local Colorado craft spirits in Colorado Springs and beyond.
Production has been increasing for the distillery and they’re attracting whiskey and cocktail-lovers from all over. Not only that, the distillery also has a number of outstanding awards under its belt, including a gold medal for the Pikes Peak Hill Shine at the Breckenridge Craft Spirits Festival and medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and the Denver International Spirits Competition.

No wonder that the distillery is loved by many. It thrives through the sense of community prevalent throughout the distillery and Whiskey House. Guests aren’t just treated like customers, they’re welcomed as family and friends coming together to enjoy good drinks and a good time.
Coffee Paved The Way To Whiskey
Jason Jackson, one of the distillery’s co-founders, began his distilling journey with coffee. It was his love for distillation that led him to venture into craft whiskey. This was when he partnered with Casey Ross, another of Axe and the Oak’s co-founders. Without any prior distilling experience, the friends worked hard to establish Axe And the Oak Distillery and make it into what it is now.
