Hogback Distillery exceeded my expectations in every way possible. As a self-proclaimed whiskey snob, I ventured in with cautious curiosity, not expecting to be blown away. However, from the moment I stepped through the door, I was met with genuine passion for the craft. The head distiller, a Scotsman whose knowledge seemed as vast as the Scottish Highlands, shared insights and stories that elevated my experience. The peated single malt is a must try!

Hidden gem in Colorado. Excellent whiskies that are tastefully done by the owner Graeme. We really enjoyed speaking with him about his background in photography and the making of Hogback whiskies. Worth checking out if you’re a whisky fan!

Hogback greatly exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed chatting with Graeme, the master distiller, and enjoyed the whiskeys even more. Great taste, quality, and so much better than the typical small distillers. We especially enjoyed the scotch-style whisky. Go visit Hogback, and have a flight or a cocktail. You'll be glad you did.

Went here for a whiskey tasting and I highly recommend for anyone looking for a tasting experience or to purchase a bottle. Katherine was extremely informative and shared lots of info on the whiskey's history and distilling. Stop for the free tasting, stay for a cocktail!

I came here yesterday for a tasting and was absolutely blown away. I've been a big scotch drinker for years now and the Wallace releases that I tasted as good if not better than nabg if the Ardbeg and Laphroaig limited releases. This is definitely the place to watch if you're a scotch drinker and I can't wait to see where they're going next. I will definitely return everytime I come to Estes Park.Also the owners are amazing people. You can really tell the passion they have towards making amazing whiskey when you chat with them.

Great little place. Super friendly and knowledgeable people. Had a delicious Old Fashioned flight and my (non whiskey drinking) wife had a Chocolate Old Fashioned that she actually really liked. Took home a bottle of their High Rye Bourbon (delicious and smooth)Highly recommend doing a tasting and having a cocktail (or 2).

So happy to have Hogback in town. We went yesterday and sampled most of their line. We bought two bottles: Oak & Aspen Bourbon Cask Strength and Peat Smoked 100% Malt Whisky. Went back today and had two old fashioned, one each of the bottles we bought. We spoke with Katherine yesterday and Graham today. Both were super knowledgeable and friendly, rightfully proud of their product. It’s fantastic to have this high-caliber distillery (tasting room) in Estes. This is now on my list of places to recommend to all visitors.

Stopped by on a whim for my husband's birthday. He loves bourbon and whiskey. He was nicely surprised by how good all of their offerings were. I am not as much into whiskey and bourbon but I do love rye whiskey and the one they make is now in my top 5. This was a great experience.
