Colorado Highlands Distillery sits on 24 Road in Grand Junction, where the high desert meets Colorado’s western slope wine country. Founded by Bill Wilson and his team, this craft distillery opened with the goal of creating premium spirits that reflect the unique terroir of western Colorado. The operation focuses on small-batch production using traditional methods combined with modern precision. You’ll find them producing bourbon, rye whiskey, and vodka in their facility that houses copper stills and aging barrels. The distillery represents part of Grand Junction’s growing craft beverage scene, joining the area’s established wineries in showcasing what Colorado’s western slope can produce. Wilson and his crew emphasize quality over quantity, working in small batches that allow for careful attention to each step of the distillation process. The team sources ingredients locally when possible and uses the region’s clean mountain water in their production.
