ABOUT THIS DISTILLERY

Wild West Meets Modern Craft Spirits

Deadwood Distilling Company operates as part of the Full Throttle Saloon empire on Main Street in historic Deadwood, South Dakota. You’ll find it right in the heart of the famous Wild West town where Wild Bill Hickok met his end, though this distillery is all about crafting spirits rather than poker games. The operation is connected to Michael Ballard’s Full Throttle brand, which expanded from the world-famous biker bar into spirits production. They’re producing vodka, whiskey, and other spirits in a setup that reflects both Deadwood’s frontier heritage and modern craft distilling techniques. The location puts you right on Main Street where tourists and locals mix, making it as much about the Deadwood experience as the spirits themselves.

The location on historic Main Street means you can combine your distillery visit with exploring the town where legends were made, and the Full Throttle connection brings a motorcycle culture edge that’s pretty rare in the distilling world.

IS IT WORTH VISITING

Perfect Deadwood Stop Worth the Detour

If you’re already planning to visit Deadwood, absolutely worth stopping by to see how modern craft distilling fits into this historic setting. It’s particularly appealing if you’re interested in the intersection of American frontier history and contemporary spirits production. The Full Throttle connection adds character you won’t find at most distilleries.

⚠️ VISITING TIPS

Since you’re on Main Street in Deadwood, parking can get tight during tourist season, so plan accordingly. The location makes it easy to combine with other Deadwood attractions, but check their current hours since they may vary with tourist seasons. Don’t expect a massive production facility – this is more about experiencing craft spirits in a legendary location.
