The smallest (and coolest) whisky tasting room in the US. The Wee Dram is a stunning space and a wonderful addition to the charming small town of Minturn. If you’re looking for an amazing, off the beaten path experience, you have to make a point to stop in for a tasting, good cocktails, and wonderful conversation. The space is just about 153 square feet, and feels like you’ve stepped straight into a Scottish whisky house. One of the coolest facts we learned was that their whisky is the only one in the area made with snow melt from Holy Cross Mountain — making their whiskey so smooth and unique from anything else we’ve had in Colorado! If you’re one for interiors, you’ll find that they didn’t leave out a single detail. The dark, moody atmosphere makes you want to stop in and stay a while. The food truck on site was also fantastic, serving up Italian beef sandwiches and Chicago dogs — perfect post whisky tasting! We can’t wait...

Along with everyone else in Minturn, Stef & Spence made our experience so wonderful! They have curated such a beautiful space & we feel so lucky to have been able to incorporate it in our elopement.
Huge thank you to the Minturn Whisky Co crew for making our day so special! We will...
Read moreWas just driving by on our way to Vail and noticed what looked like the smallest bar I’ve ever seen. So we had to stop and check it out.
It was such a cozy place and felt like I was visiting an old friend in his cabin.
Since it was a bit cold outside - I asked for something warm. I was treated to the best Hot Toddy I’ve ever had. It warmed much up inside and out.
If you’re ever driving through Eagle River - be sure to stop in and taste a few whiskeys, and chat with an...
