Cowboy Country Distilling sits at 7,200 feet elevation on the edge of Pinedale, Wyoming, where the Wind River Range creates a dramatic backdrop for what might be the most remote craft distillery experience you’ll find. Founded in 2018 by local entrepreneur Matt Boller, this operation started as a way to showcase Wyoming’s agricultural potential while creating something uniquely tied to the high country landscape. The distillery occupies a purpose-built facility that captures the rugged aesthetic you’d expect in a town where more elk than people call the area home. Boller, who comes from a business background but developed a passion for distilling through years of home experimentation, wanted to create spirits that reflected the clean air and pure water of the greater Yellowstone ecosystem. The operation produces vodka, gin, and whiskey using locally sourced grains when possible, with their flagship products including Sublette County Vodka and High Country Gin. What started as a small-batch experiment has grown into a legitimate destination for visitors exploring the Wind River Mountains, though they’ve maintained the intimate scale that allows Boller and his small team to personally interact with most guests who make the journey to this corner of Wyoming.
