Our Story
Hunter S. Thompson wasn’t just a writer, he was a cultural icon ...and he really loved whiskey.
Born at Owl Farm.
Born at Owl Farm.
In 2018, the concept of Gonzo Whiskey grew out of Aspen, Colorado, when Anita Thompson sat down with Dr. Matt Patel to discuss his vision for an innovative distillery just six miles from Hunter’s beloved Owl Farm. With a deep reverence for Hunter’s legacy and whiskey culture, they rallied his inner circle and top whiskey minds to bring this wild dream to life.
Over 5 years, Patel and Hunter’s estate carefully conceived every detail—blending Kentucky’s rich Bourbon heritage, where Hunter was born, with the untamed spirit of his Colorado home.
Gonzo Whiskey
Originating at Aspen Distillers, a LEED Platinum distillery, we now carry the Gonzo flame between the rugged peaks of Aspen and the whiskey-soaked soil of Kentucky. This is whiskey as Dr. Gonzo would have wanted it—uncompromising and fearless.
Our Inaugural Collection
Nearly 55 years after its publication, our inaugural series pays tribute to Hunter’s most famous work, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
This collection includes a range of limited-edition whiskeys—each meticulously produced and aged with intent. Our First Edition, distilled near Hunter’s birthplace in Louisville, KY, sets the tone for what’s to come.
