Colorado turns 150 tomorrow. Our address has been ready since the day we opened.
150 Main Street, Carbondale. For one weekend, this doorway sits at the center of Colorado's sesquicentennial — and at the gateway to the Roaring Fork Valley.
Behind it: award-winning spirits handcrafted from 100% Colorado grains and Crystal River water, distilled at 6,400 feet. A zero-waste operation that saves 4+ million gallons of water every year. And upstairs, The Distillery Inn — the world's only inn inside a working distillery, 25 minutes from Aspen.
150 years of Colorado heritage deserves more than a toast. It deserves a weekend.
We built your Colorado Day 2026 itinerary — the best of the Roaring Fork Valley, all in one guide:

Then come see us at 150 Main Street. The address was made for this.

The spirits industry uses up to 100 litres of water to make 1 litre of spirit.
We use 1.
One bottle of water in. One bottle of spirit out.
That's not a marketing line — it's a Siemens-verified fact. And it's been true since the day we opened in 2015.
At Marble Distilling Co. in Carbondale, Colorado, sustainability wasn't something we added later. It was engineered into the building before a single bottle was ever filled.
Here's what that looks like in practice:
→ 4 million+ gallons of water saved every single year
→ 83% below Carbondale's green code energy standard
→ Net zero since 2015 — independently verified, not self-reported
→ Crystal River water, filtered through ancient Yule Marble at 6,400ft elevation
→ Our WETS system (Water Energy Thermal System) does what most distilleries don't even attempt
Our founder Connie Baker was appointed as the first craft distillery representative on the DISCUS Environmental Sustainability Committee — because when you've built something this accountable, people notice.
We hold ourselves to a high standard. So does our community. We wouldn't have it any other way.
The full story — the numbers, the system, the science — is on the blog. Link below.
And if you've ever wondered what "Best Taste. Zero Waste." actually looks like behind the doors of a distillery, this is the read.

The marble that built the Lincoln Memorial came from right here. So does our water. 🏔️
Deep in the Elk Mountains above Carbondale, the Yule Marble Quarry has shaped American history for over a century — its stone carved into the Lincoln Memorial, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and the steps of the Supreme Court.
That same Crystal River, filtered through ancient Yule Marble at 6,400 feet of elevation, flows into every bottle we craft at Marble Distilling Co.
And on August 1, 2026, Colorado turns 150.
150 years of high-elevation rivers. Of homesteaders and heritage. Of a landscape so remarkable it became the foundation of American monuments — and now, award-winning craft spirits.
This Colorado Day, we're raising a glass to the state that built us.
🥃 Come celebrate with us at the Distillery Inn — our Colorado Day weekend is one for the history books.
🎁 Or gift a piece of Colorado's most storied geology. MDC spirits make the perfect sesquicentennial gift for anyone who loves this state.
Drink handcrafted. Drink heritage. Drink Colorado.

Everyone's talking about the Hugo Spritz. We've been making something better for years. 🌿
Introducing the MDC Mountain Spritz — Colorado's grain-to-glass answer to summer's most viral cocktail, crafted at 6,400 feet in the heart of the Rockies.
Built with MDC Gingercello (or MDC Vodka), our handcrafted vinegar-based Shrubs, sparkling water, and a handful of fresh mint — this is what happens when the Alps meet the Rockies, and the Rockies win.
Four ways to make it yours:
🥂 Crystal Classic — clean, crisp, timeless
🌿 Alpine Zing — ginger-forward, bright, bold
🌅 Summit Sunset — warm, fruity, golden hour in a glass
✨ Zero-Proof — all the flavor, none of the alcohol
Yes, there's a zero-proof version. Because great taste is for everyone.
👉 Shop MDC Shrubs online and bring the Mountain Spritz home: marbledistilling.myshopify.com
Cheers — responsibly, always. 21+

At 6,400 feet above sea level, the air is thinner, the sky feels closer, and every drop of spirit we distill is shaped by the mountain itself. 🏔️
Altitude isn't just our backdrop — it's our ingredient. Lower atmospheric pressure changes the boiling point of alcohol, alters evaporation rates, and produces flavor profiles that simply can't be replicated at sea level. That's not poetry. That's science.
Here in Carbondale, CO, the Rockies don't just surround our distillery — they're inside every bottle we craft, grain-to-glass, from Colorado soil to your glass.
Curious how 6,400 feet changes everything? We break down the science and the soul behind it all in our latest blog.

Ever heard of a shrub? 🍹 No, not the kind in your garden — we're talking about drinking vinegars, the tangy, flavor-packed cocktail mixers that have been a bartender's secret for centuries. At Marble Distilling, we handcraft our shrubs as part of our zero-waste philosophy — turning surplus ingredients into something seriously delicious. Mix them into cocktails, mocktails, or even sparkling water for a refreshing twist you didn't know you needed.

What if your room for the night was surrounded by copper stills, aging barrels, and the quiet hum of a working craft distillery?
At The Distillery Inn, that's not a fantasy — it's Tuesday night in Carbondale, Colorado. Nestled inside Marble Distilling Co. at 6,400 feet, our boutique inn is the only one of its kind in the world: a place where you don't just visit the distillery, you sleep inside it.
We wrote about what makes it so unforgettable — the smell of Colorado grain, the mountain stillness, the spirit of a place that takes nothing for granted.
