Ranger Buck

To achieve a level of cocktail quality we have come to expect from one of the best bars in the world, Death & Co starts with the most popular original recipes created and served at their bars, then scales them up into a single batch cocktail which is canned. Every technique employed in the creation of these cocktails is also described in detail in the Death & Co series of books and used regularly at their bars.

Woody Creek Distillers is a grain to glass distillery founded in 2012 by Mary and Pat Scanlan and Mark Kleckner in the town of Basalt in the Roaring Fork Valley near Aspen, Colorado. After years pursuing their own careers, these three longtime friends came together to create a line of spirits whose quality is a lasting legacy for their community, families and friends. Woody Creek Distillers is proud to use produce grown on their family farm and the farms of their neighbors. The distillery is dedicated to protecting and enhancing the natural resources of the Woody Creek region.

Their Colorado Straight Bourbon, used here in the Ranger Buck, is made from 70% Colorado corn and a blend of local rye & malted barley. The spirit is then aged at least four years in new American oak barrels with a #3 medium toast char.

Founded in 2013, The Craft Spirits Cooperative has slowly and steadily developed a portfolio of best in class spirits across a range of categories and origins. Today, they represent the foremost portfolio of independent craft spirits in America, providing Death & Co a palette of artisanal spirits to develop unique recipes employing only premium, handcrafted ingredients. Through this collaboration, Death & Co has created a line of original, Ready to Drink Cocktails using specific craft spirits and all real ingredients, the same way they would create cocktails at the bar.
