The debut of Rough & Tumble, which should be appearing in select Colorado bars now and later in retail, apparently follows upon a rather successful 2017 for the distillery. They are said to have increased whiskey production by 124 percent from the previous year, debuting as well their first whiskey product line extension, a port cask finished American single malt.

Additionally, Deerhammer launched last year a bourbon and a rye, both only available at their tasting room. Plans call for them to be made available at retail later in 2018.
