Missed the Flavor Profile
Read the flavor notes but couldn't pick up on most of them. The whiskey was overwhelmed by alcohol sharpness, with little complexity to savor. It didn't soften even after some time. The concept behind the brand is good, but the execution requires more attention to detail.
Harper Harris
Excellent Flavor, Slight Packaging Flaw
The flavor was smooth and full-bodied with a perfect kick. My only complaint is that the packaging might be slightly more polished?there was a minor rip in the box but nothing was harmed. The whiskey itself genuinely impressed and was worth the money. A couple of minor adjustments would give it five stars.
Wren Ross
Flavor Didn't Meet the Hype
Having read about the background and purpose behind 10th Mountain Whiskey, hopes were reasonably high. The idea and commitment to heritage are commendable. Regrettably, the whiskey itself failed to meet that same level of greatness. The aroma was strongly alcoholic and failed to deliver on any of the depth described. The flavor was unbalanced, with a burn overpowering instead of enhancing. It tasted like the spirit was also very young and might have gotten more benefit out of aging or refinement. In a mixed cocktail, the austerity still broke through. Shipping and customer service were both responsive but smooth, though the product simply didn't have a finished taste. For so distinctive a craft distillery, the whiskey itself should be evidence of more attention and polish. It wasn't a fun drinking experience and lacked much personality. This bottle might be good for some as an oddity, but for those that look for complexity, it will be a disappointment.

A Whiskey Worth Savoring
This is one of those whiskeys you don't want to rush. Each sip brought a little more complexity to the forefront. There was a silky start, a mid-range spice, and a warm, pleasant finish. I had it neat and with one cube. Beautifully crafted all around.
Clover Hayes
Delightfully Complex
Every taste yields additional layers of flavor. The depth is fascinating and makes you want more. An enjoyable experience for the palate.
Ella Flores
Well-Crafted Whiskey
You can see that effort was put into the production of this. The whiskey itself is silky with the right amount of complexity to keep it interesting. I experienced a nice balance of sweetness and spice, with a gentle finish. It's one of those bottles that makes an excellent gift or special occasion bottle. Very pleased overall.
Daniel Baker
Not What I Expected
Based on the description, I thought I was getting a richer, smoother drink. Instead, the taste felt sharp and lacked balance. No issues with the site or shipping, everything else went well. The whiskey itself just didn?t hit the notes I was hoping for. It may work for others, but not my style.
Beatrice Simmons
A New Favorite
Recently discovered these spirits and they've become a favorite in a short time. The taste is original and quite pleasing.
Justin Hayes
Enjoyable with a Hint of Spice
Good spicy bite without being overpowering. Bottle came in undamaged, but tracking information was gone for a while. Would try it again.
Samantha Hayes
Smooth from Start to Finish
This whiskey caught me off guard in the best ways possible. The taste is remarkably smooth with a balanced blend of wood, spice, and hint of sweetness that doesn't overwhelm. There isn't a bitter burn, only a warm heat that makes drinking a pleasure. The workmanship is evident in every sip, and it's not merely about taste?the texture, scent, and finish all work together seamlessly. It was simple to order, and shipping communication was clear and timely. The bottle was shipped well and arrived in perfect condition. What distinguishes this whiskey is how accessible but also nuanced it is. It's both sophisticated enough to sip neat and versatile enough to mix into an old fashioned. It's unusual to find a bottle that feels high-end but still earthy in its presentation. This won't be a one-time buy for me?it's earned a permanent place in my home bar. Looking forward to trying their other spirits next time around.
Hazel Flores
Not Quite My Style
It's an okay product, but did not quite suit my taste preferences. The bottle does look excellent though, and arrived promptly.
Ava Martinez
Harsh Overtones and Thin Body
The concept of a whiskey made with love based on mountain roots was intriguing. The presentation of the bottle is well done, and shipping was prompt and without issues. However, the taste fell short. When opening the bottle, the scent was not strong, and the initial taste was hot and in-your-face. There was little body or richness?only a big alcohol kick and a very light caramel or vanilla note that promptly disappeared. It did not have the heft and substance that whiskey is pleasing to sip. Attempted pairing with food and even chilling it a bit, but the same thin, unbalanced character still existed. It's a whiskey that may be best suited in a mixed drink, but it's not strong enough to hold its own alone. The idea and intention behind the brand are present, but the result still is in its earliest stages. It could potentially get there with some refinement, but it hasn't gotten there yet.
Ruby Coleman
More Than Just a Good Pour
There are nice whiskeys, and then there are ones to remember?this is one that will stick with you. It's rich and smooth with just the right amount of spice. The oak and caramel notes really come on strong, and the finish is long and warm without ever being biting. It's accessible to day drinkers but with enough nuances to make experienced drinkers stay engaged. What's even better is the face behind the brand. Their association with history and the mountains gives it a human touch. You feel like this isn't all about business?it's about making something worthwhile. Shipping was quick, and the product was wrapped carefully. Each aspect of the experience was personal and refined. This is a bottle I?ll be proud to share with others, both for the taste and the story it represents. A truly rewarding find in a crowded whiskey landscape.
Tyler Cox
Good Value for Craft Quality
For a craft whiskey, the cost was reasonable and the quality was good. The liquor itself had a smooth entry, a spicy mid-point, and a clean finish. It played well in neat pours and in classic cocktails. Delivery was faster than anticipated, and the bottle was extremely well-packaged. Excellent overall value.
Nathan Kelly
Pleasantly Surprised
Didn't know what to anticipate, but the taste really blew me away. It's strong without being too much. Fast shipping and fine service made it better.
Hugo Rivera
Craftsmanship at Its Best
The craftsmanship is apparent. Every bottle demonstrates a skill in distillation and flavor profiling. Absolutely brilliant work.
Jose Sanders
Solid Whiskey, Slight Delay in Shipping
The whiskey itself was great?smooth, rich, and deep in flavor. The one drawback was a slight delay in shipping, which disrupted the timing on when I would have it. That being said, once it did arrive, everything was just as it was supposed to be and the quality compensated for the wait. I'd definitely think about ordering again if the delivery speed is a bit quicker.
Lyra Watson
Harsh Notes and Lacking Smoothness
The idea of a mountain-style whiskey made with local ingredients was very appealing, and the historical reference to the 10th Mountain Division added a sense of identity. The whiskey, unfortunately, did not live up to taste. Even the initial sip was overwhelmed by a pungent alcohol burn that overpowered any delicate tasting notes. Even after leaving it to stand and adding a splash of water, the profile did not mature into something more pleasant. There was little in the way of complexity or richness, and the finish was hot and short. It seemed to be a youthful spirit that hadn't yet been given the time it had been looking for to mature. Customer communication and packaging were great, and it is obvious the brand has dedication and passion behind it. Nevertheless, the whiskey requires additional aging or blending skill to keep pace with the brand's narrative and visual beauty. For the time being, it seems like a product that's not yet ready for its moment.
Emily Hall
Not for My Palate
Gave it a shot but this one just didn?t appeal to me. It had a strong alcohol-forward punch with little complexity. Others might enjoy it, but it wasn?t to my taste. Shipping and service were acceptable, no complaints there. It?s just not a flavor I?d choose again in the future.
Chloe Carter
Thin Flavor, Harsh Edge
The whiskey wasn't as deep or rich-tasting as I had hoped. The alcohol overwhelmed the flavor, with just a hint of flavor left behind. Experimented with different glassware and even added a splash of water, but the bite never mellowed. Disappointment given all the fanfare surrounding the brand.
Savannah Perryman
A Whiskey That Tells a Story
There?s more to this bottle than just whiskey?it tells a story that?s deeply rooted in Colorado history. That pride and honesty carry over to the product itself. It smells welcoming, and it tastes better yet?rich, dirt flavors, and complexed with muted bursts of spice and wood. What struck me about it was how smooth and balanced it was. No rough edges, no saccharine aftertaste, just a genuine whiskey drinker's pour. Customer support was also superb throughout, and shipping was seamless. The packaging is minimalist but effective, and the bottle itself is a standout in the best possible sense. This is a whiskey for those who enjoy the art and history of what they're drinking. It's not attempting to flash?it's just really good. The type of bottle that finds itself part of your regular rotation, both for personal consumption and for sharing with friends. Really glad I took the opportunity to try it.
Charlotte Walker
Overpowered by Alcohol Burn
Beautiful packaging, but the drink inside lacked refinement. It was mostly alcohol-forward with very little depth. Couldn?t pick up on the tasting notes mentioned. Even after trying different methods, the harsh burn remained. The product feels rushed or underaged. Not something I?d reach for again.
Lily Phillips
Not to My Liking
Gave this a try after seeing positive reviews, but the taste just didn't work for me. It tasted bitter and wasn't well balanced. Company communication and delivery were good, so no issues on that front. Just didn't like the taste myself.
Nora Peterson
Decent but Lacking Warmth
This bottle tasted good, but lacked the depth I am used to. Still good enough for everyday drinking, and delivery was consistent.
Michael Parker
Strong Marketing, Weak Spirit
The storytelling and branding are really well done, but the whiskey doesn?t support the hype. It had a thin mouthfeel and an overly aggressive finish. It feels like more focus went into the label than what?s actually in the bottle. Not something I?d pour again soon.
Oliver Taylor
Delivered Exactly What Was Promised
All went well with this order?the whiskey, the packaging, the delivery schedule. It's always wonderful when a company delivers on what it promises. The spirit itself was good and oaky with a bit of sweetness to it. It's a good all-around one that performed both neat and in a cocktail. Would buy another bottle without a second thought.
Freya Stewart
Lacks Balance and Complexity
Gave this whiskey a decent try over a few sessions, and although the intent is good, the execution isn't quite there. The aroma promises sweetness, but the taste comes on with a harsh ethanol burn and little else. There's not much depth to speak of, and the finish is hot and short. Tried letting it open up over time, even tried it on ice to soften it, but the results were the same. The branding and backstory give it a rugged, outdoorsy appeal, but the spirit inside doesn?t quite match that quality. It feels like something still in development rather than a polished product. Customer support and packaging were well done, so the experience wasn't entirely negative. But as for the actual product, it failed to live up to the expectations of a craft distillery. There are other comparable brands with more complex flavors and smoother profiles at the same price points.
Sylvie Cooper
A Rough Sipping Experience
All of this brand conveys quality?everything from the rustic mountain branding to the heritage-driven storytelling. Alas, the flavor of the whiskey doesn't quite meet those expectations. There is a bite on the initial sip that does not dissipate and carries through to the finish, making it hard to enjoy neat. Even after adding water and letting it breathe, the overall experience didn't get better. The expected layers of flavor just didn?t come through. Packaging and fulfillment were great, and the company clearly invests effort into presentation and service, but the spirit inside the bottle felt rushed. It?s possible that a longer aging process could help round out the rough edges. As it stands, this feels more like a novelty or souvenir than a whiskey you?d keep returning to. There is potential in here, but the product doesn't yet have the complexity and smoothness that are the hallmarks of great whiskeys.
Layla Cooper
Smooth and Satisfying Sip
The smoothness of this whiskey is truly impressive. It does not have the burn that some craft bottles possess. Rather, there is a pleasant finish that remains so. I also greatly appreciated the design of the bottle?it is high quality and well considered. Every aspect from the delivery to the pour was well done. Fantastic overall experience.
Liam Rodriguez
Didn?t Match Expectations
I was expecting a lot from the review and description, but this one failed to impress me. The taste was lighter than anticipated and wasn't complex. Shipping was good and it arrived in a timely manner, so that's not a problem. May be better for others' palates, but I won't be ordering this again.
Christopher Morris
Okay but Not Memorable
Good whiskey, but nothing particularly memorable in the way of taste. The packaging was secure and intact upon arrival. Not likely my first choice in the future, but not a bad choice either.
Ronan Bryant
Memorable Experience
From the order to the first taste, the experience is trouble-free and pleasant. The spirits themselves are rich and mellow. Truly memorable.
William White
Too Harsh for Sipping
Quick delivery and fine presentation, but the whiskey was hard to get down. The whiskey had an extremely strong presence of alcohol and nearly no balance. Tried both neat and with water, but the burn remained overwhelming. For a sipping whiskey, this one fell short. Wouldn't order this expression again.
Jonathan Richardson
Slightly Underwhelming
Hoped for something more complex in the taste, but it was a bit subdued. Staffing and postage were okay. Still fun to drink, just not exceptional.
Evan Morgan
Excellent from Start to Finish
From ordering to tasting, everything in this process felt deliberate and well executed. The site facilitated quick ordering, and the whiskey was delivered ahead of time. After opening, the aroma greets with a woody sweetness that foreshadows the richness within. Sampling it only confirmed?yes, it's layered, full-flavored, and remarkably smooth. Vanilla and toasted oak notes make it feel like the classic whiskey, but there's also a distinctiveness that can't quite be put into words?perhaps it's the Colorado air. What I particularly enjoyed was how smooth it was to consume. No too jagged edges or odd tastes afterwards. Just fine, plain whiskey created with purpose. The company history brings an added level of significance and gives it a personal touch. It's simple to admire when a product is fueled by passion. This one checks every box for me, and I?ve already shared the name with several friends who enjoy quality spirits.
Aaron Ross
A Standout in the Craft Scene
As a person who's tasted a lot of smaller-batch whiskeys, I have to say that this one was one of the best. It strikes the perfect balance between being easy to drink and having depth. The flavor is a little bit of everything?gentle sweetness, a hint of spice, and a silky finish that lasts just long enough. You can tell they've emphasized quality over shortcuts. Their branding and mission are even more impressive. Connecting their whiskey to the heritage of the 10th Mountain Division gives the experience an emotional component. Ordering was simple, and the bottle came quicker than I anticipated. Packaging was tight, and there were no holdups or problems. It's a whiskey you can savor slowly, with each taste bringing home the craftsmanship involved. Excellent to drink on its own but also surprisingly excellent in a traditional old fashioned. For a distillery that has only been open for a while, they've already established they're among the best.
Jasper Rivera
Lacks the Depth Expected
There is much to be appreciated about the idea of 10th Mountain Whiskey?from the association with war history to the mountain-way of-life branding. One can tell that effort was taken to construct the narrative and the presentation of the product. The problem was that the whiskey didn't deliver in terms of taste. It didn't have the deep, complex richness one comes to expect from craft whiskey. Instead, there was an overpowering alcohol flavor with nothing much else to complement it. Even after a little age in the glass, the zip remained robust, and it was hard to pin down the delicacies described on the tasting notes. It had almost the taste of the whiskey being unfinished, like a potentially great batch that just wasn't ready yet. Customer service and shipping were fine, and the bottle is excellent-looking on the shelf?but its contents require finesse. With improved aging and balance, this may be a worthwhile addition to the collection of a whiskey enthusiast. Currently, it falls short.
Owen Foster
Excellent Pour and Worth the Wait
This whiskey surpassed expectations in flavor and smoothness. It's nicely balanced and obviously made with attention. The shipping took a bit longer than anticipated, but after I did get to taste it, it was worth it. Packaging was good and the bottle is wonderful. Definitely a strong candidate for a repeat purchase in the future.
Andrew Morris
Great First Experience
This was my initial experience with something from 10th Mountain, and I was not let down. The flavor was rich and complex, with a hint of vanilla and oak. Nothing overwhelmingly strong or overpowering. Bottle came in good condition, and the detail shown was evident throughout. Will reorder.
Grace Evans
Okay for Casual Drinking
This isn't a terrible bottle, but it didn't impress me either. It's smooth and consumable but not complex. It'd be okay for social gatherings or mixing. Ordering was simple, and it arrived on time. Not a highlight, but reliable.
Brandon Ward
Whiskey with Character
Not some generic bottle?it has character. There's a sense of warmth to the flavor that is built slowly. Toasted oak notes and the slightest touch of caramel had me thinking this is something special. Tasted all the better having sat for a few minutes in the glass. Good shipping experience as well. A thoroughly nice whiskey overall.
Sophia Garcia
Tasty and Well-Crafted, Minor Flaw
The taste was great?caramel and oak with pleasant lingering spice. The bottle had a slightly off-center label that isn't really a big thing but caught the eye. Doesn't impact taste of course, which was great. Just one small quality control aspect that they could tighten up on future releases.
Freya Ramirez
Smooth and Flavorful
The smoothness of these spirits is enhanced by a richness of flavor that's difficult to match elsewhere. A balance that's enjoyed to the fullest.
Evelyn King
Lacked the Expected Smoothness
Shipping was quick and customer service was good, but the whiskey just did not cut it. It tasted thin and hot, and there was not much depth of flavor at all. It did not get better with ice or sitting in the glass. Wanted to love it so badly, but just could not get beyond the roughness.
Madison Stewart
Flavorful with Slight Delay
The whiskey was smooth and balanced with only a touch of a spice at the end. Shipping was a little slower than anticipated, but the product was well worth it. Would purchase again if shipping becomes more efficient.
Finnley Bryant
Doesn?t Deliver on Flavor Promises
Was expecting to discover a gem with this one. The heritage-driven narrative behind the brand is impressive, and the bottle design catches the eye right away. But after a few drinks, the thrill was gone. The whiskey is younger than it tastes and is very hot on the palate. There wasn't much depth to dig into, and the listed flavor notes didn't seem to manifest. Experimented with various methods to coax out its personality?neat, rocks, old fashioned?but nothing had a marked effect. The experience always skewed toward being sharp without much payback. The firm shipped promptly and the packaging was secure, so that is testimony to their professionalism. But the fundamental problem is in the liquid itself. At the price, there are smoother, tastier products available. Though the idea and branding are distinct and compelling, the whiskey could use longer aging and generally better balance.
Matthew Hill
Too Much Bite, Not Enough Body
This whiskey was abrasive from the get-go and didn't have a lot of body or smoothness to counterbalance it. Hoped for more refinement but never received it. May be perfect for someone looking for intense heat, but less than perfect for those who desire a smoother mouthful.
Jasper Foster
Impressive Depth of Flavor
These spirits have an impressive depth and breadth of flavors. Every sip provides something new to enjoy.
William King
Decent Spirit, Basic Bottle Design
While the whiskey had a pleasant flavor, the bottle design felt generic and lacked character. It?s a minor thing but affects the unboxing experience. As for the drink itself, it was smooth and had a mild kick. A fair offering, just not something that stood out among other premium choices.
Sadie Hayes
Rich Experience and Great Service
Every part of this order was satisfying?from browsing the website to the actual pour. Their site was simple to navigate, and the ordering process was smooth. The bottle arrived ahead of schedule and very well protected. Once opened, the aroma immediately suggested quality?warm, woody, and slightly sweet. The taste didn?t disappoint. Swaths of caramel and spice were present, rounded out with a touch of smokiness. It finishes crisp, with a gentle warmth that dissipates perfectly. This is not merely a whiskey to be seen?it's meant to be consumed. The naming is also significant. The reference to the 10th Mountain Division lends it gravity and authenticity. It's obviously something more than yet another craft label. They've created something great here. It's a new favorite in my inventory, not only for the taste, but for the attention to detail that shows in every aspect. Will be ordering again and sharing with friends.
Kevin Wood
Full Flavor, No Harsh Burn
It's difficult to come across whiskey that gets flavor without that bitter afterburn, but this one doesn't. There is a full-bodied quality to the profile that feels satisfying with each and every sip. Good notes of wood and slight vanilla undertones showed through. The bottle presentation lends a special touch to the whole experience.
Kevin Brooks
Too Harsh and One-Dimensional
Not a lot of depth to the flavor. It tasted unpolished and biting. Good customer service, but not the whiskey for me.
Brandon Perry
Excellent from Start to Finish
The entire process was seamless?from surfing to delivery. The whiskey is rich and complex. A wonderful representation of quality craft distillation.
Oliver Anderson
More Style Than Substance
The 10th Mountain brand is compelling?it's storytelling and visually conveys a sense of heritage and adventure. That's why the whiskey was such a disappointment. It tastes like the product was put onto the shelves prematurely. The taste was light, dominated by an astringent alcoholic bite with little to linger over. Even when experimenting with various sipping techniques?neat, water, or ice?the same in-your-face burn remained prominent. The dry, quick finish offered no real development or aftertaste to appreciate. The customer service was superb, and the packaging was high-end, making the disparity between the packaging and the liquid inside all the more apparent. There's obvious potential if they put more time into aging or mixing more polished batches. Currently, however, it's hard to recommend as a sipping whiskey. It might appeal to novelty seekers, but it's not for serious whiskey drinkers.
Jonathan Richardson
Quality Craft with a Strong Identity
What really impressed me was how this whiskey stays true to its own character. It doesn't attempt to emulate the other large ones?it's forging its own path. Smooth flavor, hint of spice, and fantastic finish all make it stand out. Also loved the quick shipping and gentle packaging. It's a total experience from place order to first drink.
Stella Wood
Nice Balance of Sweet and Spice
Enjoyed the blend of spice and sweetness?it was a perfect evening pour. Only drawback was that there was a slight lag in tracking information.
Charlotte Jackson
Fine for the Price, Not Exceptional
For the cost, this whiskey is good. It doesn't overperform but neither does it underperform. It has a nice body and finish but isn't as complex as I normally look for. Delivery was quick and consistent. A good fallback choice, but nothing that left an impression on me.
Hugo Nguyen
Harsh Finish Undercuts Flavor
The whiskey came promptly and the packaging was extremely professional, but the taste itself fell short. There's a sweetness up front that gives way very rapidly to a burn that dominates all else. It did not have the complexity and smooth finish that would make a bottle worth returning to. Even after several tastings, the experience was still the same?harsh and somewhat one-note. Tested it neat and over ice hoping that the flavor would come out, but still tasted a tad too raw. The packaging is great and feels in line with the mountain spirit idea, but the product itself doesn't quite live up to that standard. As a distillery focused on craft and tradition, there is some potential to be unlocked in the flavor department. It?s not undrinkable, but it?s also not something I?d reach for again soon. A better balance and more refined finish would really elevate what seems like a promising foundation.
Adrian Butler
Excellent Whiskey with a Purpose
It's difficult to discover a whiskey that not only tastes great but also feels significant, but this one accomplishes both. It's full-bodied with just the right amount of sweetness, oak, and spice. Each sip provides consistency and quality. The finish is long and warm and ideal for slow sipping. The fact that it's associated with the 10th Mountain soldiers makes this brand stand out. It brings a story and soul to the experience. Ordering was efficient and delivery went off without a hitch. The bottle arrived in great condition and looked fantastic. Even the labeling has a rustic charm that ties everything together. I?ve already recommended it to others who appreciate craft spirits, especially those with a strong backstory. It?s not just a drink?it?s something to appreciate and share. From top to bottom, this was a great experience and an even better bottle. A great find and one I?ll be returning to soon.
James Martin
Needs More Aging
This whisky was immature and rough around the edges. There was a lot of potential, but the alcohol burn was overpowering and overrode any delicate flavors. There was not enough smoothness that one would expect in a handcrafted item. Wonderful narrative behind the company, but the flavor never matched the appearance. Needs aging in the barrel.
Ryan Collins
Flavorful and Well-Balanced
This whiskey took me by surprise in the best of ways. It had deep character with caramel flavors and a little spice that lasted just perfectly. There is warmth without being too burny, and it suited it just perfectly for slow sipping. Branding also works great without appearing too gimmicky. Overall, solid stuff.
Victoria Mitchell
Impressive Product, Slight Leak
Enjoyed the strong but balanced flavor of the whiskey. It definitely impressed me. The bottle did have a very minor leak upon arrival. Nothing significant, but worth noting. Otherwise, the quality of the whiskey has me looking to try a second bottle in the near future.
Indigo Stone
Unmatched Smoothness
The smoothness of these beverages is unmatched. They slide down comfortably, providing a good aftertaste that stays just long enough.
Hannah Reed
Balanced with a Clean Finish
This whiskey contained all I'm searching for?smoothness, taste, and a crisp finish that encourages another sip. Easy to drink but deep enough to make it interesting. Perfect for everyday sipping or sharing with friends. Shipping was also quick and efficient. Will be ordering again.
Evelyn Lewis
Great Taste, Slight Label Smudge
The whiskey had a smooth, caramel-rich profile that made it really enjoyable. One small issue?the label was slightly smudged, which took away from the overall presentation. Still, the drink itself delivered big on flavor. A solid choice that just needs a little more attention to detail on the packaging side.
Matilda Peterson
A Staple in My Collection
These spirits have become a top-of-mind selection. The uniform quality and pleasant flavors make them a standard in any collection.
Claire Sullivan
Not a Fan of the Flavor
The style simply didn't suit me?it was harsh and bitter. Bottle was shipped quickly, so no issues there. Just not my cup of tea.
Gabriel Chapman
Smooth Sipper with a Great Story
This whiskey is now a staple in my home bar. What drew me in was the story?the history behind the 10th Mountain Division and the tribute built into the brand. That alone made me curious, but it was the whiskey itself that kept me coming back. It?s exceptionally smooth, with a flavor that balances complexity and approachability. You get subtle hints of caramel, vanilla, and oak without anything overpowering. The finish is clean and pleasant. Online ordering was a cinch, and the bottle came early. Presentation was crisp, and attention to detail appeared in both packaging and spirit. It's the type of whiskey you sip at the end of a long day or pull out when you're having friends over. Whether you're an experienced whiskey enthusiast or just beginning to venture out, this provides an excellent introduction to craft American spirits. Can't wait to experiment with more of their range.
Asher Griffin
Expected More from the Taste
With such intense visuals and a compelling story behind the brand, it felt like this would be a standout craft whiskey. The packaging is great, and it came in pristine condition, so the initial impression was positive. But as soon as the bottle was opened, it was apparent the taste didn't live up to the same level. There's a sharp burn on the palate and not much else to counteract it. The finish is rapid and fiery, with none of the intricacies that would be expected of a whiskey at this cost. Even after retesting it several times, the experience never changed. Tested it with food, in a cocktail, and straight, but nothing really enhanced the flavor. The brand is itself palatable and the customer service was seamless, but the product did not live up. A bit of longer aging or more nuanced blending would make a huge difference. For the moment, it does seem like a work in progress.
Samuel Green
Rough Finish
It was evident from the very first taste that the whiskey was not as smooth as hoped for. The finish was coarse, and the flavor profile as a whole was missing something. There is promise, but somehow the whiskey doesn't seem ready or need further blending work. Delivery was rapid, but the beverage did not deliver.
Ryan Bailey
Satisfying Sip Every Time
Each pour is smooth and consistent. Truly love the layered flavors and warm finish. Delivery arrived right on schedule. A trusted favorite.
Harper Allen
Not a Memorable Pour
Trusted this based on some positive reviews of the brand. Unfortunately, the whiskey failed to make an impression. Tasted young and lacked personality. The burn was instant and lingered on each sip. Looks good, but not sufficient depth to recommend on the merits of the drink.
Jasper Ford
Consistently Impressive
Each order has been above expectation. The quality and consistency shine through in each bottle. A company that delivers time and again.
Elijah Jones
Strong Whiskey, Slight Shipping Issue
The whiskey was a strong one that really developed on me. The only snag was a bit of delay in shipping, which worried me as it was a gift. That being said, the quality of the product served to mitigate that worry. A fantastic bottle with much potential to be a regular in my cabinet.
Paisley Jenkins
Classic Flavor with Modern Vibes
The first thing you'll notice is the scent?gracious, deep, and subtly sweet. The taste is an excellent balance between tradition and elegance, with forceful caramel, vanilla, and a smoky undertone without overpowering. It is incredibly smooth, which makes it an ideal drink to enjoy neat or on a single ice cube. The bottle presentation also merits an honorable mention?simple, yet forceful and symbolic. The history behind the company, attached to the 10th Mountain Division, lends a unique sense of legitimacy that you won't find with mass-market brands. The order arrived in a hurry, and packaging ensured that everything was safely received. You can't help but feel that those who have brought this to the table truly care about both their art and the consumer. There's a considerate flourish in each detail, from the spirit itself to the autographed thank-you note contained within the package. This has been one of the top favorite whiskey discoveries in years, and I'll be returning for more.
Indigo Ford
Not Quite Smooth Enough
The initial impression of this whiskey is aesthetically pleasing?the label, the shape of the bottle, and the history behind the brand all draw attention. But when the seal is popped, the experience falls flat. The whiskey produces an immediate burn, with little depth or progression in flavor. Experimented with different glassware and temperature differences, but the pungency remained the same. The caramel, vanilla, and spice notes outlined on the product description were hard to find. Instead, the alcohol dominated whatever subtlety existed. Although it may do better when it's used as a mixer in a bold cocktail, it's not the type of whiskey you'd pour and enjoy after work. Customer service and shipping were both spot on, which is a help, but for those who want to drink a smooth, complex sipping whiskey, this bottle is a disappointment. There's a good idea here?it just needs a little more polish.
Scarlett Cook
Mountain-Inspired and Enjoyable
You can sense the passion behind the 10th Mountain heritage in the whiskey. It's not merely a brand?it actually has a drink that's memorable. There is depth and emotional smoothness, and yet a hidden vigor that lends character. Excellent evening drink. Love the local ingredient concept and the meticulous distillation.
Willow Diaz
Solid Quality and Memorable Character
The taste alone would earn this whiskey praise?rich caramel notes, a light peppery spice, and a clean, satisfying finish. But what really sets it apart is the heart behind the brand. There is an obvious respect for tradition and community that makes drinking this feel like more than just having a beverage. The nod to the 10th Mountain Division is not a gimmick?it gives it real character. It tastes like a product created with respect, not marketing. The bottle came quickly and in pristine condition. Even the packaging was stylish and well-cared for, which speaks well for the company. All of it felt high-end without being stodgy. This is a whiskey for those who desire a solid, considered pour without all the hype. Neat, on ice, or in a cocktail, it works well. An excellent addition to any collection of whiskeys.
Liam Rodriguez
Expected More From a Craft Brand
With all the work put into the branding and history, expectations were relatively high for a distinctive craft whiskey experience. Unfortunately, the taste profile didn't live up to the same level of detail. The spirit had an underage, sharp taste, with a significant burn that hung around much too long. Notes of sweetness and oak were too faint to cut through the dominating alcohol. Even in mixology, the whiskey was hard to get along with, and that surprised me. Shipping and presentation were perfect, but the product itself did not deliver. This isn't to indicate the company does not have potential?obviously, it does have passion and a good idea. But this specific bottle tasted like it had been rushed or left incomplete. There's potential for growth in aging and balance that may ultimately push this whiskey to the level of meeting its aesthetic and conceptual beauty. In the meantime, it's more of a fad than a mainstay for whiskey lovers who care most about flavor and finish.
Tyler Bell
Solid Whiskey with Great Aroma
Has a very pleasant scent and leaves a clean finish. Ideal for a Friday nightcap. Arrived safely and in a timely manner. Would buy again.
Samuel Young
Tasty and Well-Made Spirit
The whiskey offered a nice blend of sweet and smoky tones that lingered pleasantly. The craftsmanship is noticeable. Only issue was that the bottle cap was slightly loose when it arrived. Nothing spilled, but it?s worth mentioning. Would still recommend it based on the flavor and smooth drinking experience.
Sawyer White
Consistently Outstanding
With every purchase, quality is consistently high. It's comforting to know that excellence is upheld batch after batch.
Angel Rivera
Flavorful and Well-Presented
Loved the smooth but strong finish. Bottle and label design are also excellent. Slightly delayed delivery but worth it.
Victoria Phillips
Great Potential, Not There Yet
You can see the vision behind this whiskey, but it feels unfinished. The alcohol kick is overpowering, and the taste doesn't linger. It could be something great with age and adjustment, but presently it's more of an idea than a finished product.
John Reed
Average Experience, Room for Growth
The whiskey itself was okay, nothing really memorable but not bad at all. It's a good option for someone who wants to try something new. What dropped my rating was the customer service?I had a question about my order and it took a few days to receive an answer. A more responsive system would be helpful a lot.
Justin Bennett
Authentic Flavor and Experience
This whiskey tasted like it was produced from a source of passion and authenticity. The taste was rich but not overwhelming, with a highly balanced flavor profile. It also had a clean finish that made it excellent for sipping. Loved every aspect of the experience from ordering to receiving. Would highly recommend trying this one.
Caspian Morris
Not Quite There Yet
The brand and narrative of this company are interesting, and the aesthetics are solid, but the whiskey itself was a disappointment. When the bottle was opened, the aroma had a distinct sharpness that persisted in the taste. It had a slightly rough character and did not have the silky finish one would expect. Tasting notes promoted on the website didn't quite translate, giving the impression that it might have taken a bit longer in the barrel. There is a bitterness that lingers, making it hard to drink neat. Shipping was quick and packaging safe, but the contents fell short. It's obvious the team involved here are passionate about the brand, but the whiskey itself could use a bit more finesse. Would be willing to reconsider if it is improved or new batches are produced with more depth and character. Currently, it doesn't seem ready to hold its own against others in this price category.
Audrey Foster
This One Surprised Me
Had no idea what I'd find, but this was a surprise gem. Very rich, silky, and wonderful finish. And the box was extremely secure.
Isabella Jackson
Great Branding, Subpar Flavor
Enjoyed the bottle design and history surrounding the distillery. But unfortunately, the whiskey tasted harsh and was uncomplex. The burn dominated the experience, and there wasn't a great deal of flavor to savor. Fell short of the premium presentation it sought. Could possibly get away with mixing, but not neat.
Amelia Anderson
Not My Preferred Flavor Profile
This one didn't agree with my palate. It had a very medicinal flavor that was difficult to ignore. Some may enjoy that robust personality, but it wasn't my cup of tea. Shipping was timely and the website was easy to use. It may suit others who enjoy strong, pungent flavors, but I won't be ordering it again.
Finnley Murphy
A True Connoisseur's Choice
For those who enjoy good spirits, this brand does not disappoint. The quality and attention to detail are reflected in all that they do.
Madison Bailey
Craft Whiskey Done Right
From beginning to end, this whiskey delivers. The taste was full, and the bottle itself is great to have sitting on the shelf. I enjoyed the spice note and the crisp finish. The brand does a great job of presenting their tale, and the product matches up. Shipping was convenient, and everything arrived safely and in a timely manner.
Isaac Foster
Consistently Impressive Craftsmanship
There's always something satisfying about this whiskey. The workmanship shines through the first time you pour it. It starts out with a velvety, woody scent and serves up rich flavors that aren't overwhelming. Flashes of vanilla, toasted wood, and a touch of spice finish it off perfectly. The aftertaste is silky smooth, no burning whatever, just a warm, clean residue that has you reaching for another sip. It's simple to recognize this is a distillery that prides itself on the process. Aside from the whiskey itself, the order process was perfect. Quick shipping, mindful packaging, and a brand presence that feels both real and accessible. What's remarkable is how intimate the whole experience is?like the product is created by individuals who genuinely care. The connection to the 10th Mountain Division adds depth and story, which really elevates the whole experience. This one exceeded my expectations and earned a permanent spot in my cabinet.
Scarlett Edwards
Well Made, Slight Burn on Finish
Enjoyed the experience overall with this whiskey. It's nicely made and rich in body. There was some burn on the finish, which may be too much for others, but I didn't dislike it. It was easy to order and customer service was courteous. A hearty choice for those who like robust flavors.
Sawyer James
Exceptional Craftsmanship
The detail to detail in each bottle is impressive. The flavors are rich and balanced, and each sip is a pleasure. Truly to be admired.
Zoey Bennett
Exceptional Quality
You can tell from the first drink that this whiskey has been made with love. Smooth, full of flavor, and perfect for sipping slowly. Well worth every cent.
Audrey Kelly
Smooth Enough for Daily Enjoyment
The whiskey is easy to drink and doesn't taste overpowering or overly complex. Perfect for a nightly pour. There's consistency in every glass and the bottle appearance is really nice. All aspects of the ordering process went smoothly. Would be glad to reorder when this one is gone.
Sawyer Chapman
Beautiful Bottle, Underwhelming Taste
The bottle was nicely made and the story of the brand is motivating, something that initially created high expectations. The whiskey within, however, didn't quite meet the looks when opened. It had a raw, almost rough edge to it that discomforted sipping. Attempted letting it open up, attempted serving it cold, and even attempted serving it again after a few days, but the bitter burn was constant. The mentioned flavors?vanilla, oak, and a touch of spice?were hardly there, if at all. It had the sense of being an inexperienced whiskey that still required some extra time in the barrel. Branding and rapid shipping do attest to the concern for presentation of the company, but the actual spirit needs polish. There's certainly potential here, and with more time or blending, it might get better, but in its current state, this one didn't provide the smooth, flavourful experience anticipated.
Lucy Barnes
Smooth Sipping Whiskey
Smooth, velvety, and pleasant to drink. There was a small crack in the wax seal but nothing that spoiled the contents. Would definitely consider purchasing again.
Thomas Henderson
A Whiskey That Lives Up to Its Name
This balance was what impressed most. It's bold, yet it never overwhelms. There's natural sweetness from the oak and caramel along with a subtle spice in the background that complements it so well. It's one of those drinks that you just want to sip and linger over and savor the layers. The presentation is every bit as impressive as the spirit. Everything arrived on time and intact, and there was care in every detail. The backstory adds even more to appreciate. You?re not just drinking a product?you?re participating in something bigger, tied to a proud heritage. The bottle looks great on the shelf, but more importantly, it delivers every time it?s poured. Whether you?re a longtime whiskey drinker or just getting into the scene, this one is worth exploring. It's a great expression of craftsmanship, history, and heart, all in one bottle.
Abigail Lee
Beautifully Balanced and Smooth
Everything about this whiskey felt well-executed. It?s smooth, balanced, and carries a subtle complexity that reveals itself over time. The ordering process was seamless and the packaging protected the bottle perfectly. Definitely one of the better bottles I?ve had recently. Would suggest this to anyone looking for something classic yet flavorful.
Daniel Baker
Great Marketing, Just Okay Taste
The history behind the brand was what drew me in, but the taste did not meet expectations. It had a bitter, single-dimensional flavor and was not smooth. Even experimented with it in a cocktail, but the burn still hit you. So much potential, but not quite there yet on the spirit itself.
Benjamin Lee
Cool Concept, Poor Execution
Loved the idea behind the brand and the connection to history. The execution in the whiskey itself just isn?t there. Harsh on the throat, no real finish, and not enjoyable to sip. Maybe okay in a cocktail, but not something I?d pour straight again.
Joshua Cook
A Bit Too Harsh for Me
Found this one too sharp. Hoped for something smoother. No problems with shipping or service, but the taste just didn't fit for me.
Addison Bryant
A Well-Balanced, Satisfying Pour
Discovering a whiskey that provides character and smoothness is not always possible, but this one is a winner. There is a beautiful richness to the flavor, with depth of spice and a caramel undertone that work beautifully together. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a nice warmth without any harshness. It's clear that attention was paid to making this bottle?everything from the ingredients to the packaging. The ordering was easy, and shipping was quick and effectively managed. The background of the brand provides additional depth of appreciation, as it links their product to the 10th Mountain troops and the mountain culture they respect. There is a sense of meaning here that differentiates it from more consumerist alternatives. I've passed it along to friends who were also amazed, and it's now my first choice for nights I want to unwind with something really great. This bottle is not simply another shelf-filler?it's a standout.
Ronan Evans
A Must-Try for Whiskey Lovers
To any whiskey lover, these spirits are a must. The way the flavors balance and the smooth finish create an outstanding experience.
Ella Nelson
Consistently Great Experience
Every 10th Mountain order has been a pleasure. This most recent bottle was superb?smooth, full-bodied, and perfectly warm. Delivery was speedy, and everything arrived in perfect shape. That level of consistency makes it simple to return again and again.
Grace Evans
Burned More Than Expected
This had an extremely hot burn beyond expectations, and not favorably. Tried to identify sweet notes spoken about but couldn't isolate them. It's not disgusting, though, but not pleasant either. With refinement, it could potentially be better, but this batch isn't quite there yet.
Mason Martinez
Just Okay Overall
This was a middle-of-the-pack experience. The whiskey was good, a little lighter than I anticipated. It wasn't terrible, just didn't impress. Shipping was timely and the website was user-friendly. If you prefer smoother, more straightforward flavors, you may really like it. For me, it just didn't have that wow factor.
Asher Brooks
A Taste of the Rockies
These spirits take you to the mountains with their clean and crisp taste. A great and refreshing experience.
Henry White
Smooth, Enjoyable, and Worth Repeating
This whiskey hit all the right notes for me. It was smooth, not overly strong, and had a very pleasant aftertaste. The customer service was responsive, and my order arrived faster than expected. Everything about the process felt easy. I?ll definitely be adding this to my rotation going forward.
Riley Peterson
Distinctive and Smooth
There's a lovely singularity to this whiskey that makes it stand out from the others I've had. Smooth and easy-drinking, but with enough going on to be interesting. The packaging and history add to the appeal. Extremely happy I tried it?will definitely have a bottle of this on hand.
Emily Adams
Could Be Better with Time
There's a solid idea here, but the whiskey tasted immature. The alcohol bite was too sharp, and it was missing the smooth subtle notes that I typically appreciate. Could use additional time in barrels or an alternate aging regimen. Currently, it's not something that I'd go back for another pour.
Juniper Richardson
Distinctive and Delightful
The distinctive flavor of these spirits keeps them out of the ordinary. Each bottle is a discovery of new flavors. An enjoyable experience each time.
Violet Gray
Great Balance of Flavor and Smoothness
What makes this whiskey stand out is the balance. It doesn?t try too hard to be different?it just nails the basics and adds a little extra. There's a rich, oaky body with caramel and just a hint of spice to keep things interesting. The smoothness is the most surprising thing. No bite, no burn?just a smooth, velvety finish. The bottle itself is attractive and came delivered in perfect condition. You can tell the company is taking care not just with what's in the bottle, but how they present it and deliver it. There's a lot of identity behind this brand, and it's pleasant to see that follow through from product to package. Shopping online was easy and convenient. I particularly like the way this whiskey seems adaptable?it's fantastic on its own but equally enjoyable as a cocktail ingredient. A considered, balanced bottle all around, one I'll be happy to order again.
Juniper Edwards
Not What Was Expected
There were high hopes based on hearing great things, but the whiskey wasn't deep or complex. The taste profile was a bit flat and didn't change, even after breathing. The packaging design is wonderful, and shipping was timely, but the product itself didn't live up as much. Perhaps a different batch or type would provide more, but this one was disappointing. There's definitely attention to the brand and presentation, but when it comes to the actual product?the whiskey?where it counts?it didn't meet expectations. This would be more suitable for social drinkers than for whiskey aficionados. Had it both neat and in a cocktail in hopes that that would make a difference, but that didn't improve it much. There is potential here but refinement is necessary to compete on flavor and finish with more well-established distilleries.
Anthony Ward
Loved the Presentation and Taste
Bottle appearance was upscale, and the whiskey had a nice finish with caramel and spice overtones. Quick shipping was an added plus.
David Campbell
Harsh and Flat
The bottle and branding really sold me, but the whiskey itself was flat and overpowering. No real flavor development, and the burn stayed from start to finish. Not something I?d recommend sipping neat. Needs more complexity and smoothness to justify its craft label.
Caleb Perry
Impressive Craftsmanship and Flavor
The focus on detail 10th Mountain Whiskey dedicates to its products is apparent from the very first pour. The whiskey has a full-bodied, rich flavor with subtle hints of vanilla, oak, and a nice spice that carries on the finish. It's not too sweet, smooth, and balanced enough to drink neat. The packaging didn't disappoint, either, featuring a sturdy, attractive bottle that echoes the mountain heritage of the brand. Shipping was quicker than anticipated, and the product reached us safely with no issues at all. It's nice to see a company that obviously holds quality from distillation through to customer service as their top priority. You absolutely get the impression you're dealing with a carefully crafted, small-batch item without any pretentiousness sometimes associated with craft distilleries. I have tasted numerous American whiskeys, but this one has surely impressed. It?s something I?ll reach for again and likely gift to a few friends too.
Benjamin Walker
Quality Whiskey with Minor Delay
The whiskey was excellent?smooth finish with a slight spice on the end. There was a bit of a delay with the shipping, but it arrived in great condition. The product definitely makes up for the wait. I?d order again, especially if the fulfillment process is a bit quicker next time.
Elijah Thomas
Not as Smooth as Expected
The whiskey came fast and was packaged well, but the flavor fell short. It tasted too aggressive and was shallow. Even ice could not subdue the brutality. It sat beautifully on the shelf but disappointed on the tongue. Anticipated more class for something billed as a craft, small-batch liquor.
Austin Cox
Superb Quality and Service
Whiskey was excellent quality, and customer service was attentive. Entire experience was hassle-free. Good for sharing with friends.
Wren Watson
Elevates the Drinking Experience
These spirits make any event special. The flavors are sophisticated and the finish is silky, creating an outstanding drinking experience.
Isabella Brown
Impressive Craftsmanship and Flavor
The quality of the craftsmanship in this whiskey is apparent from the initial taste. It's rich, complex, and has a silky finish that is easy to drink. The process of ordering was smooth, and the bottle came in perfect condition. It's like a well-considered product crafted with attention. Would be happy to share this with friends or gift it.
Clementine Coleman
Exceeds Expectations
High expectations going in, and they were exceeded. The taste, the smoothness, and the experience overall are excellent.
Zachary Powell
A True Gem Among American Whiskeys
Of the numerous American whiskeys I have tried, 10th Mountain is particularly noteworthy for its balance, depth, and silky character. Every sip provides a gentle ride through delicate hints of vanilla, toasted woods, and a hint of spice. It's the sort of whiskey you can sip slowly and experience how it develops with each passing moment. What else makes this stand out is the attention to detail on the part of the company, not just in distillation but in customer service. My bottle was shipped carefully boxed and arrived promptly. The history behind the brand is a nice touch?there's something special about paying respect to the 10th Mountain Division legacy that makes every pour feel more intimate. Whether you?re enjoying it solo or with good company, it feels like an experience, not just a drink. If you?re looking for a whiskey that brings authenticity, quality, and approachability together in one bottle, this is absolutely worth trying.
Amelia Lewis
A Bit Too Raw
There is passion in the product, but the whiskey itself tasted hurried. It had a sharp bite that lingered with every sip. Attempted to let it come open, but the bite never left. The idea is sound, and the bottle is excellent, but the taste didn't meet the same standard.
Layla Rogers
Rich Flavor, Minor Packaging Flaw
Enjoyed the flavor?it was very complex. The only problem was a tiny dent in the cap, but nothing spilled. Otherwise an excellent bottle.
David Roberts
Great Flavor, Clean Finish
One of the best sipping whiskeys I?ve had in a while. It has a clean finish and a flavor that doesn?t overwhelm. The ordering process was straightforward, and shipping was quick. This is one I?d be happy to gift or keep stocked for myself. Very satisfying all around.
Skylar Jenkins
From Packaging to Pour?Excellent
Each phase of this buy surprised me. The site was convenient to navigate, checkout was simple, and shipping arrived quicker than anticipated. Once I broke open the bottle, I knew I was in for something. The whiskey is heavy and warm-scented?whispers of vanilla and wood. The taste? Even more so. It's full-bodied, silky smooth, and barely spicy. The balance is great, and the finish hangs on nicely without ever becoming harsh. The bottle itself is nicely shaped and looks beautiful on the bar. But most of all, it's the history behind the brand that makes it stand out. There's substance and thought in what they're doing, and it's evident. This isn't some other label?it's a product with a sense of place and intention. It?s easily become one of my favorites, and I?ll definitely be exploring the rest of their offerings soon. Really glad I gave this one a chance.
Christopher Bell
Smooth with a Pleasant Kick
This whiskey has a nice blend of smoothness with a subtle edge. It starts off mellow, but there?s a nice kick at the end that gives it a bit of personality. Great for evenings by the fire or sharing with friends. Definitely a bottle I?d pick up again. The quality speaks for itself.
Clover Myers
Branding Wins, Whiskey Doesn?t
The branding and idea behind remembering the 10th Mountain Division is rich, and it feels like it successfully conveys rugged mountain roots. Too bad, because otherwise this whiskey misses on its impression. It hasn't got much finish or depth expected of an artisal liquor. It has been young and a touch primitive, burning but not full enough of flavors. Even resting this in glass a while was insufficient. There was a bit of sweetness at first, but that immediately gave way to a pungent bite that lingered unpleasurably. Tested it in a cocktail to determine if it would blend better, but the same problems existed. It's clear a lot of work was put into promotion and packaging, but the contents of the bottle simply didn't pay off. Packaging and service were top-notch, but when you buy a top-end whiskey, the flavor has to live up to the hoopla. There's promise here, but it isn't ready for its close-up quite yet.
Henry Young
All Show, Little Substance
No question the brand image is good, but the product itself wasn't as rich and smooth as I had been looking for. The flavoring was muted, and the punch of alcohol blew everything else away. Not bad whiskey, but it's just not refined enough to make it shine in an oversaturated market.
Leah Perryman
Great Product, Slight Communication Gap
I quite enjoyed the whiskey?it was very distinct, full-bodied and pleasant to drink. The only issue was that I received no shipping notification once my order had been sent, so I was unsure when it would arrive. Eventually, it did arrive safely, but improved communication would have made the process much easier.
Nicholas Powell
Middle of the Road
Not bad, but not particularly spectacular either. Fine for use in cocktails but a bit of a letdown for straight sipping. Quick shipping was a plus.
Caspian Chapman
Quality in Every Drop
It's clear that only the best ingredients are utilized. The end result is a spirit that's rich in flavor and smooth on the palate. Outstanding.
James Allen
Nice Enough, Nothing Standout
This whiskey was decent, but didn?t stand out among others I?ve tried. The flavor was balanced but not particularly memorable. Delivery was fine and the packaging was intact. It?s a solid pick for everyday sipping, but probably not something I?d go out of my way to order again.
Clementine Richardson
Promising Concept, But Lacks Finish
The history and purpose behind 10th Mountain Whiskey are intriguing, and that's what initially caught people's attention to the brand. However, the experience of drinking the whiskey didn't live up to the hype brought about by the branding. The whiskey had an aggressive initial sting and hardly any depth. It didn't have that multi-faceted character you usually experience in well-aged spirits. Sipping it neat revealed little development on the palate, and even after trying it with a splash of water, the taste remained sharp and unbalanced. It feels like a product that needs more time in the barrel to smooth out its rough edges. Customer service and delivery were both very good, and there?s clearly effort behind the operation. To that end, though, the actual whiskey itself is not yet good enough to earn repeat business within a crowded market. There's promise, for sure, but until there's greater polish with the final product, it doesn't feel warranted to buy this again.
Lucy Sullivan
A Well-Rounded Craft Spirit
From aroma to the last sip, this whiskey exhibited depth and harmony. It was not showy but possessed an elegance that would justify the price tag. Tastefully packaged and sent quickly. Would not hesitate to order more from 10th Mountain after this experience. They clearly take their craft seriously.
Ellie Brooks
Rich, Rewarding, and Memorable
Few whiskeys get the blend of flavor and finish just right like this one. There's richness here that tastes deep?oak notes, dark honey, warm spice that change as you take a sip. It's obviously made with care and tradition, not by the factory. The 10th Mountain Division tie-in adds even more flavor, providing a feeling of belonging to something special. The ordering experience was seamless, and the bottle arrived in fine shape, well-wrapped and in a timely manner. Appearances count, and this gets it right with sophisticated, mountain-themed branding. It's stylish enough to drink neat or mix into something timeless. What I like best is how it achieves being premium without being pretentious. It's a whiskey with backbone and heart?made, not made. This one's got a permanent place in my rotation, and I'm already looking at their rye for the next order.
Lily Edwards
Smooth Whiskey, Beautiful Packaging
The whiskey boasted a very smooth finish that made it delightful to sip. It was not too sweet or overpowering, but well-balanced, with a warm, lingering impression. The design of the bottle was also elegant and added a lovely touch to the home bar. Shipping was even quick and secure. Definitely impressed with both the craftsmanship that went into the spirit and the presentation.
Matthew Parker
A True Standout Among Craft Whiskeys
From the initial taste, this whiskey was exceptional. The taste is smooth with a touch of vanilla and oak. It's obviously made with attention to detail. Delivery was prompt, and the packaging was extremely secure. Would definitely reorder and recommend to others seeking a quality American whiskey.
Beatrice Peterson
Packaging Over Product
The initial impression was superb. The parcel was delivered fast, the design seemed high end, and the idea behind the firm was hugely well done. Opening the bottle was a part of the ritual. Sadly, the whiskey didn't match up to the greatness of everything around it. The whisky had an initial sharp youthful snap that wouldn't soften in a matter of time or warmth adjustments. The burn overpowered any delicate notes, and despite attempting it in various glasses and conditions, it still felt aggressive on the palate. The finish was brief, hot, and somewhat unpalatable. It's obvious the team producing this brand is passionate and considerate with their packaging, but the underlying product simply didn't feel sophisticated. There's potential if more time is put into the aging or the experimentation with the mix, but as it stands, it tastes more like a whiskey about the packaging rather than the pour. Let's hope subsequent batches bring more balance and depth.
Violet Hayes
Average Taste, Good Service
Middle-of-the-road flavor on the whiskey, but overall experience with the company was extremely smooth. May try another product next.
Nicholas Rivera
Memorable Flavor Profile
There is an excellent balance in this whiskey that is enjoyable on every sip. It is flavorful enough to make a difference but not too much. The oak and sweetness notes were particularly delightful. Either on its own or used in a cocktail, it performed well. Well-packaged and care-shipped. Would reorder in the future without hesitation.
Chloe Adams
Flavor Was Excellent, Just A Bit Strong
This one packed a punch?it?s strong, but in a good way. Great for sipping slowly. Might be a little too bold for some, but it worked well for me. Shipping and delivery went smoothly, and the bottle was safely packed. A flavorful drink worth exploring again when in the mood for something more intense.
Cameron Griffin
Enjoyable from First Sip to Finish
This is the type of whiskey that makes an impression. Immediately, the scent is full and inviting?oak and dark sugar notes draw you in. The initial sip assures you it's something special. Smooth, tasty, and well-balanced, with only a hint of spice to lend it personality without overwhelming the rest of the flavor. There's complexity to the flavor that provides a different sip each time you take one. It holds your interest, and the finish is gentle and extended in the very best way. On top of all that, the ordering was amazingly streamlined. Delivery was immediate, and packaging was such that everything arrived beautifully. You can sense a genuine attention to detail from the distillery here. Not only did they produce a whiskey that tastes good, but they've infused it with meaning. Their association with the 10th Mountain Division gives it a sense of narrative that enhances the entire experience. This one most certainly met expectations.
Sylvie Bennett
Perfect for Any Occasion
Regardless of whether you are just relaxing or having a celebratory occasion, these beverages are up to the task. Versatile and always a party favorite.
Natalie Reed
Expected More Depth
It was fine, but didn't have the rich character I was hoping for. Not terrible, just didn't make a lasting impression. May try something different next time.
Silas Collins
A Bit Too Harsh and One-Note
Attempted the whiskey after some favorable reviews but it was too harsh and imbalanced. The nose in the beginning had some potential, but the palate was dominated by a robust bite that overwhelmed any finer notes. Despite adding some water, the spirit was still too aggressive. Although the mountain branding is great and the narrative is interesting, the drinking experience failed to meet the hype created. The bottle styling is solid, and customer service was prompt, which is a definite plus. But for the cost, flavor complexity and smoothness should be greater. There was no sense of warmth or depth, with the overall feeling that this is still a young brand that might be improved by further aging or blending skills. Would give another bottle a try in the future, but this specific bottle did not offer a balanced experience. It was something less.
Mia Smith
Flavorful but Lacked Depth
There's nothing negative to say about the whiskey, but it didn't have the depth I was hoping for. It was smooth but slightly one-dimensional. Packaging and shipping were both good, and the cost was affordable. Overall, it's an adequate bottle for everyday drinking but not something I'd turn to when I want something special.
Elizabeth Nelson
Packaging Outshines Product
It's a beautiful bottle visually and has a great story to tell. But the whiskey within was harsh and didn't end on a good note. Wasn't smooth or very tasty. Tried it a few different ways, but nothing changed. Strong brand image, but the product has more work to do.
Savannah Long
Bold and Interesting
Certainly a full-bodied whiskey, with some pleasant toasted flavors. It's not going to be to everyone's taste, but I enjoyed it. Very slight scuff on label otherwise excellent.
Adam Long
Smooth Sip, Rich Heritage
On the initial sip, you can sense this whiskey was made with purpose. It provides a comfortable warmth, supported by deep caramel and an undertone of spice. The smoothness is superb, with no bite or bitterness on the finish. It's perfect for unwinding after a long day, whether alone or with good friends. Apart from the liquid, the brand's association with the 10th Mountain soldiers gives it a patriotic and meaningful twist. The history and honor infused into their narrative truly connect. Ordering online was easy, and the product arrived well-packaged and as described. The bottle has a rustic elegance that looks great on any bar shelf. This is a product that delivers both in taste and story. It doesn?t feel like just another craft whiskey?it feels meaningful, well-made, and worthy of sharing. Definitely a bottle I?ll be keeping in regular rotation from here on out.
Noah Wilson
Missed the Mark on Flavor Balance
Visually, the product stands out. The bottle labeling and branding are well executed, and the background color behind the distillery is commendable. That's what made the drinking experience so underwhelming. The whiskey did not have the smoothness and layered nature that typically mark a good craft spirit. It had a raw taste, with alcohol taking over instead of complementing any depth of flavor. Tried aerating it, tasted with food, and even used it in a cocktail, but the acrid taste lingered. It's not terrible whiskey, but it's not one that encourages a second serving either. The service end of things was good?quick shipping and tight packaging, no complaints there. It's the liquid in the bottle that requires improvement. It doesn't taste quite complete or mature enough to hold its own against others in its class. With additional time in barrels or recipe tweaking, it might be better, but as it stands, it's disappointing.
Nathan Coleman
Mountain Spirit in Every Sip
There's something different about this whiskey?it's more than a drink. The spirit tastes grounded in something real, and the mountain way of life theme is not just a slogan. From nose to finish, the flavors are strong but friendly. Notes of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak make it rich without clobbering. It's a whiskey that unfolds as you drink, which attests to the meticulous distilling that went into it. The bottle itself is clean and polished, an understatement for this brand's down-to-earth, refined personality. Shipping was timely and smooth, and the box felt considerate. You know this isn't mass-produced?there's soul here. I think the greatest surprise was in how it sat with you comfortably familiar, and somehow new?that it felt a Colorado secret preserved. Whether you?re a whiskey connoisseur or just looking for something solid to enjoy on the weekend, this is a great pick. Will absolutely be recommending it to others and returning for more myself.
Hazel Bryant
Bold Flavor, Smooth Execution
A truly great combination of smoothness and boldness. The whiskey has deep undertones of oak, spice, and subtle sweetness that just last long enough. It's warm but not hot and full but not overpowering. Everything tastes deliberate and not cobbled together. The process of ordering was fast and hassle-free. The bottle arrived right on schedule and well wrapped. What I appreciate most is that the whiskey tastes like it was crafted for actual drinkers?not for gimmicks or flashy marketing. There's heritage, depth, and a tale in every pour. The 10th Mountain Division connection adds heart, and that tale lingers long after the glass is gone. This one will be lingering in my rotation for a long time. It feels like something crafted by hand and backed by purpose. Definitely worth trying, especially if you?re after something genuine.
Natalie Stewart
Unique Mountain Vibe in a Bottle
There's something in this whiskey that holds the mountain spirit it was named after. It's smooth, but with a strong punch that's well-deserved. The finish was pleasant and lingering, and it did just as well neat or in cocktails. You can tell effort was placed in the process. Lovely packaging and fast delivery too.

Great Experience Overall
Ordering was easy and the whiskey far exceeded expectations. Excellent balance of vanilla and oak flavors. Arrived on time and nicely packaged. Would recommend for everyday sipping.
Beatrice Myers
A True Taste of Colorado
The spirits are the essence of the mountains. The smoothness and depth of the flavors are unmatched. A true depiction of the land.
Ava Williams
Great Whiskey, Basic Presentation
The whiskey is genuinely enjoyable?full of flavor and very smooth. What fell a little flat was the packaging and bottle design. It?s a minor thing, but when paying premium prices, presentation matters. Still, I?d recommend the product based on taste alone. A little more effort in branding could go a long way.
Nora Myers
Excellent Sip for Any Occasion
Whether drinking it with friends or by yourself, this whiskey is perfect for the occasion. It's straightforward to drink but never dull?there's delicate depth that prevents boredom. The smoothness really comes through, particularly with just a splash of water. Gorgeous packaging and fast shipping made the entire purchase an even greater pleasure.
Joseph Carter
Average Taste, Expected More
Although the delivery was good and the packaging secure, the taste did not meet my expectations. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. For the money, I was expecting more depth and character. It's fine to drink, but not something I'll be craving again.
Penelope Butler
Masterfully Distilled
The distilling expertise is evident. The spirits are clean, full-bodied, and without any bitterness. A work of mastery.
Mia Harris
Underwhelming Taste
Expected the flavor to be smooth and bold, but it tasted flat. Had a bite that never resolved into anything pleasant. No character or lasting notes. Shipping and packaging were excellent, but the whiskey just didn't impress. A disappointing first experience with this brand.
Claire Gray
Great for Sipping or Mixing
What?s nice about this whiskey is its versatility. It?s complex enough to enjoy neat, but it also holds up well in cocktails. The taste has a nice warmth with a bit of sweetness. Arrived quickly and packaged securely. Really enjoyed this one and would gladly try other offerings from the same distillery.
Paisley Griffin
A Great Discovery
Found this brand by accident and was impressed. Packed with flavor and not too overwhelming. All was well packaged. Will be purchasing again.
Noah Wilson
Flawless Drink, Clean Finish
This was one of the best bottles I?ve tried this year. It had a clean finish and a really smooth pour that worked neat or with a small cube of ice. No complaints on the delivery either?it was well-packaged and arrived on time. A great experience from start to finish.
Matilda Flores
Room for Improvement
Attempted the whiskey due to the attractive brand history and good recommendations from others, but it didn't quite deliver. The first pour was rich in color, but the taste was too harsh and lacked the depth usually found in small-batch liquor. It had a youthful character to it that failed to soften with age or exposure to air. Enjoyed the rough-around-the-edges branding and the order process was smooth, but the ultimate experience?drinking the whiskey?was disappointing. It tasted better suited for mixin' than sippin', but even in mixed drinks, the bitterness was present. Maybe the batch wasn't the best the brand has to offer, but it didn't make the second purchase a consideration. There is no doubt the potential is there, and the company has a good base to start with. Still, additional time aging or tweaking the blend would help significantly to enhance the drinking experience. Currently, it requires a little more refinement.
Elizabeth Green
Really Enjoyable and Satisfying
This is the kind of whiskey that makes you pause and appreciate every sip. From aroma to finish, it was clean and elegant. Arrived on time and in secure packaging. It worked well both neat and in a cocktail. A very enjoyable experience I?ll look forward to repeating.
Sophia Taylor
Needs Refinement to Stand Out
Following a reading of the company's heritage and dedication to quality, the whiskey sounded like a good discovery. Sadly, the taste did not equate to the history. It was young and unfulfilled?more bite than harmony. The palate burn lingered, and even after letting the glass develop, there was not a great deal of change. The tasting notes provided did not come through, and the finish was harsh. It's not that the whiskey was absolutely unpalatable, but it didn't have the depth and sophistication that will make for a memorable drink. The service and delivery were smooth and speedy, and the bottle is eye-catching on the shelf. But the content just wasn't there to support the form. It's obvious that this brand has some solid building blocks, but the execution of this specific whiskey needs another try. Maybe future versions will nail it better. For now, it's a middling experience wrapped in a pretty package.
Aurora Price
Just Didn?t Click
The taste profile was off to me, extremely one-dimensional. No complaints about the company, but the whiskey just didn't resonate.
Lyra Morgan
Crafted with Passion
It is evident that these spirits are crafted with dedication and passion. The outcome is a product that's of high quality and also full of character.
Andrew Collins
Didn?t Meet My Expectations
Sadly, the taste wasn't up to the hype I'd heard. It was unbalanced, and I couldn't get the richness I was searching for. That being said, the bottle did come in good shape and within the delivery time guaranteed. Just not something I'd reach for again based on taste.
Anthony Spencer
Smooth and Easy to Enjoy
This whiskey provides a drinking experience that's accessible and still rich with taste. It's soft in the mouth, with subtle oak, vanilla, and a touch of spice. There's no bracing burn, only a silky, warming finish that makes it simple to sip and savor. The brand's history brings a sense of authenticity and tradition, and it feels as though that legacy translates into the bottle. Ordering was hassle-free and simple. Everything came promptly, well-packaged, and with excellent presentation. It's not a beverage?it's an experience you'll want to do again. Ideal for a night in or as a gift to someone who enjoys well-crafted spirits. They've found a sweet spot between price and quality, which is hard to come by these days. I?ll be exploring more from 10th Mountain for sure, and this bottle is one I?ll be recommending to others.
Joseph Roberts
Interesting Concept, Harsh Result
The presentation and idea of the brand were excellent, but the whiskey simply didn't do it. It had a burn that never softened and did not have the smooth, layered flavor I was expecting. Service and shipping were excellent, but the product should be more developed to live up to the branding effort.
Penelope Ramirez
Not the Smooth Sip Anticipated
Seeing a few posts about 10th Mountain Whiskey on social media, there was interest in attempting something from a Colorado distillery. The shipping experience was easy, and the presentation of the product is obviously well planned. But the whiskey was too hot and lacked the smooth, easy-drinking character anticipated. Even allowing the pour to sit or adding a splash of water didn't mute the burn or elicit much complexity. The tasting notes touted on the label were difficult to discern, and the finish was quick and hot. It tasted like a spirit that wasn't aged sufficiently or balanced to perfection. It's a shame, because the narrative and design are appealing, but the whiskey falls short of the brand's reputation. Would like to see what the product matures into in future batches, since the foundation is there. But for now, at least, it was closer to an initial draft than to a completed product.
Michael Campbell
Nice Balance of Sweet and Spice
The whiskey provided a wonderful balance?just the right amount of sweetness with a bit of spice. It's a good one to sip in the evenings. One small thing was that the tracking information wasn't updated right away, so I didn't know when to expect it. Otherwise, extremely satisfied.
Austin Price
Perfect for Gifting or Keeping
Ordered this as a gift, but after trying it myself, I?ll be ordering another for personal use. The flavor is smooth and nuanced, and the bottle is stunning. Arrived on time and very securely packaged. It?s the kind of whiskey that makes an impression. Great choice all around.
Alexander Martin
Didn?t Work for Me
Tried this one due to a suggestion but didn't really care for the profile. It had a bitter bite I couldn't overcome, even after airing it out. Shipping and site experience were seamless, so that was no problem. It's just a matter of taste, and this didn't align with mine. Others might disagree.
Lucas Hall
Falls Short on Flavor
The whiskey lacked much flavor. It was palatable, but not pleasant. No layers or balance?just burn. It seemed like the brand and story received more focus than the spirit itself. Looking forward to future releases improving, because this one didn't quite make it.
Autumn Long
Good Flavor, Packaging Could Improve
The flavor of the whiskey lived up to expectations, but the packaging didn't stay secure in transport. No actual damage was done, but it didn't sit right. A more secure box would make a real difference. The taste, though, was nice?mellow and softly sweet with a nice warm finish. Good in general but some small tweaks would improve it.
Penelope Howard
Very Impressed by the Depth
There's plenty happening in this whiskey without being overly complex. The complex flavors create a rich palate that you'll crave another shot of. It's powerful but restrained, smooth but full of flavor. This is a bottle that I would happily keep on hand in my home bar. Superb craftsmanship.
Caleb Howard
Too Strong Without Complexity
Strength overpowered the taste, which was a bit dull. May be okay for mixed drinks, but not for neat drinking.
Lyra Cooper
Artisanal Excellence
The handcrafted quality of these spirits comes through. The tastes are intricate but accessible. A testament to the talents of a true artisan.
Silas Griffin
Authentic Mountain Spirits
These spirits capture the mountain spirit. The taste is strong and authentic, indicative of the attention given to every batch. Absolutely authentic.
Abigail Scott
Too Young for Its Price
This tasted like an immature whiskey. The alcohol burn was potent, and the smoothness was simply not present. For the price and brand, I had expected more depth. Potentially promising with more time aging, but at present, it feels as though they bottled too soon in the process.
Axel Gomez
Rich Heritage in a Bottle
The heritage and tradition that surround these spirits make them all the more attractive. The flavors are a reminder of the past but perfectly aligned for the present.
Stella Barnes
Rich Flavor and Solid Identity
This whiskey has a full-bodied flavor and smooth, rich undertones of spice and caramel that makes it perfect for drinking neat. The scent itself is enticing?deep, woody, with a hint of sweetness. Start to finish, it offers a consistent experience that never fails. Most impressive of all, though, was the identity of the brand and how they tell their tale. It's not about the product; it's about tradition and mountain way of life. That feeling is very much integrated into the spirit itself. The packaging was rugged and trendy, and everything was delivered as scheduled. No broken merchandise, no delays, just excellent service across the board. Whether you're drinking it by yourself or with company, it's a versatile and reliable whiskey. This isn't a fad bottle?it's one that you'll find yourself returning to time and again. It's a perfect marriage of craftsmanship, quality, and storytelling. Hands down one of the best things I've ever bought in ages.
Dylan Gray
Great for the Price
This whiskey provides good value. Clean taste and finish. A little slow to ship, but all were received safely.
Axel James
Too Sharp to Enjoy Neat
There is something fearless to the branding of 10th Mountain that gets you right away, and the history brings so much personality to it. But then when it comes to the liquid in the bottle, it just doesn't deliver. The whiskey tasted very harsh and wasn't smooth enough, layered in the way you want it, so that it was enjoyable in and of itself. It may be okay for cocktails where bolder mixers can tame it, but as a stand-alone, it was unbalanced and harsh. Tried to let it age, tried adding water, but the brashness remained. For a bottle of this price point, one would expect more polish. The ordering experience and shipping were good, and the packaging is fantastic?but the product itself needs more maturity. Wouldn't dismiss the brand outright, as they seem to care about their image and story, but this particular bottle didn't quite seem like a matured product. A bit more aging may help immensely.
Joshua Murphy
Reliable and Consistently Good
I have ordered from this company a couple of times now, and all bottles have had consistent quality. The whiskey itself is smooth without being overpowering and doesn't leave a harsh finish. It ships quickly and is well-packed every time. The company has certainly earned shelf space for me for regular drams.
Emma Garcia
Looks Great, But Taste Doesn?t Hold
When the whiskey did arrive, it was obvious a great deal of attention had been paid to the visuals. The branding is a great story and the bottle itself is a looker. That made the initial pour all the more disappointing. The whiskey slams with a hot, nearly medicinal kick that leaves little room for subtlety or complexity. There's an alcohol-forward burn throughout and to the end, and any hope of vanilla or spice notes are smothered under it. It didn't get any better after letting it aerate or with a little ice. The taste just did not match the promise of craft and premium for a product that's marketed as such. Both shipping and customer service were seamless, and the brand name is quite memorable. But what's in the bottle seems to need more time to mature. This might be a good collector's item or present, but not a drinker's choice.
Lucas Thomas
Satisfying Purchase with Great Taste
Actually liked the flavor?smooth and well-balanced with a touch of spice. Made a good impression. The packaging was simple but effective, and the bottle came undamaged. A good purchase overall. There is still some room to improve the branding and customer interaction, but the product itself is worth coming back to.
