About

Wood’s High Mountain Distillery is a craft distillery located in Historic Downtown Salida, Colorado, at an average altitude of 7,600 feet in the San Luis Valley. Operating from a 100-year-old building and using an original 1880s German Pot Still called ‘Ashley’—one of the world’s oldest stills still in use—the distillery produces spirits from locally sourced grains and potatoes with unique high-altitude vapor distillation and maturation techniques.
