“The cocktail bar is made out of excellent old western themes and the cocktails are some of the best in Denver. The tour itself is fantastic. It was different each time I was there, and I had fun tasting different whiskeys. The tour guides are funny and amusing as you would expect them to be, but most importantly, they love their job, which comes through in how they guide you through the distillery.”
“We started going to Stranahan’s about 7 years ago and always have had a great time. The staff are very knowledgeable about the whiskey and always willing to answer questions. The tours are fun and informative. If you are lucky enough to get picked for the bottling experience, you will have a blast.”
