About Balmer Peak Distillery:

AZ Born, CO Crafted, Sustainability Focused

When you grow up in the desert, you have a different approach when it comes to water usage, a sustainability mindset permeates into everything

Our Story

Both born in the Phoenix Area, Eric and Austin made the choice in their venture into adulthood by setting up their lives in a new climate. They took their desert instilled water-preservation mindset and applied it to building out their distillery to reduce water usage when creating quality consumables. Ultimately opening the doors to Ballmer Peak Distillery in late 2019, serving up high-end cocktails at accessible pricing made entirely from spirits made onsite. It wasn’t the most ideal time to launch a new business, but they say hindsight is 2020.

During the pandemic Ballmer Peak Distillery was one of the first to switch operations to hand sanitizer, and prioritized the conversion of unwanted alcohol into sanitizer, which they provided to individuals within the community at no cost. It was a strange time to say the least, but worked as a testbed to craft new products into their core lineup. In 2020, Vodka crafted from molasses joined their Australian-inspired Gin, Silver Rum, Golden Rum, Spiced Rum and unaged Light Whiskey.

In the years which followed Ballmer Peak continued to innovate and iterate, releasing small batches of experimental, limited release products in an effort to foster creativity and ultimately flesh out their barrel program. This led to a collaboration with Locke & Co distilling, utilizing their rye-whiskey-soaked charred aspen discs into Ballmer Peak’s Outback Aspen Gin. The current barrel program contains a selection of rums, brandies and whiskies stored in a variety of different oak casks, expected to release once they reach maturation.
