Beer
Bourbon and Whiskey
291
Distilled from a bourbon sour mash, distilled in a copper pot still, aged in American White Oak deep char barrels, and finished with toasted Aspen Staves.
Bear Creek Wheated Bourbon
BCD Wheated Bourbon is fermented and distilled with the same care as Bear Creek's Straight Bourbon but is then matured in 30-gallon American white oak barrels. Once hatched, Wheated Bourbon holds a dark mahogany color, and the aromas of vanilla, oak, and caramel. On the palate, it is slightly sweet with flavors of caramel and fruit followed with a smooth bourbon finish.
Bear Creek White Whiskey
Some call it Moonshine, White Lightning, or White Dog, Bear Creek Distillery calls it White Whiskey. BCD White Whiskey is distilled using the same recipe, process, and attention to detail they put into their Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The major difference is, instead of being matured for years in new oak barrels they briefly store the White Whiskey in used bourbon barrels resulting in a corn forward, drinkable “un-aged” whiskey. Try it neat, iced, or as a substitute for vodka in your next Moscow Mule.
Boulder Straight Bourbon
Boulder Bourbon has been a crowd favorite for years. Incredibly soft, approachable bourbon with distinct apple notes throughout.
Breckenridge Bourbon Whiskey, A Blend
Breckenridge's award-winning, high-rye Bourbon Whiskey is aged for a minimum of three years, in charred, new American oak barrels, and blended to reveal the unique qualities of the Bourbon Whiskey. Deep, honey-amber hue with pronounced aromas of butterscotch, candied orange and apple; dry cacao and brown sugar envelop the tongue as the spirit lingers with notes of vanilla and white pepper.
Deerhammer Rough & Tumble
From Buena Vista, corn whiskies don’t always get much respect because of a perception that they’re one-dimensional, but Rough & Tumble belies that reputation. It is distilled from 100% Colorado-grown corn, with 15% of the corn in each batch being cold-smoked with hickory wood. After distillation, it’s matured in Deerhammer’s used single malt whisky barrels.
Grizzly Bear Maple Syrup Bourbon
If you're going to be a bear, be a grizzly. This Colorado Bourbon Whiskey is finished with real maple from The Pare Family Sugarhouse in Vermont.
Laws Four Grain
After two Colorado family farms grow heirloom varietals of wheat, barley, and rye, Laws' labor-intensive cooking technique brings each grain’s individual character to life, while open-air sour mash adds soulful complexity. After three years in 53-gallon charred oak barrels, influenced by Colorado's high-altitude climate, an entirely novel bourbon unfolds. Aromas of orange blossoms compliment notes of black tea, honey and dusty pepper.
Leopold Bros. Straight Bourbon
Open fermentation in wooden tanks with both house-cultured and indigenous yeast strains. Pot distilled and unfiltered. Aged four years in new American white oak charred barrels on earthen floors in the distillery's unheated dunnage-style bonded warehouse.
Locke Co. Distilling - Aspen Aged Rye
The rye whiskey starts with sweetness. Hints of cherry pits and vanilla, and then the spice of the rye comes in on the tip of my tongue, but it has a soft mouthfeel to it. Mid-palate, there are subtle notes of caramel and golden maple syrup with some tobacco and cinnamon notes as it becomes buttery smooth, and well-rounded between the sweet and spicy characteristics.
Mile High Spirits Fireside
Proudly made from scratch by a talented distilling team in the heart of downtown Denver. Distilled from Colorado corn, barley, and rye and cut to perfection with crisp Rocky Mountain water, Fireside boasts notes of dark caramel, roasted coffee, and smokey brown sugar. Whether you’re making Old Fashioneds for tonight’s party or attempting to dull the pain of dinner with the in-laws.
Old Elk Wheated Bourbon
Wheaters, come gather ‘round because this one's for you. A delicious and well-balanced wheated bourbon is something every whiskey lover should get their hands on. This one is a chance to show you and the world what Old Elk is capable of. This wheated bourbon consists of 51 percent corn, 45 percent wheat, and four percent malted barley. The result? A liquid that allows for each ingredient to not only shine on its own but highlights what happens when success meets craft.
Outlaw Peanut Butter Cup - Mystic Mountain Distillery
In this unique pairing, a touch of toffee, the sharp kick of Outlaw Whiskey, & a creamy peanut butter flavor expertly balances the rich, velvety flavors of dark chocolate & peanut butter.
Outlaw Red Cinnamon Whiskey - Mystic Mountain Distillery
For fans of fireball...this whiskey has natural cinnamon & peppermint extract with cane sugar assist in delivering a lightly flavored but smooth whiskey.
State 38 Straight Rye
If fig and butterscotch could be liquified and placed directly into a whiskey, this would be that magic in a glass. Grains sourced from Colorado farmers to keep the State 38 Whiskey tradition of proudly supporting Colorado. Nose: tapioca and butterscotch. Front: vanilla and oak. Finish: lightly spicy fig and cherry with a homemade granola finish.
Stranahan's Original
While Stranahan's maintains the quality and base standards of each batch, no two batches are precisely the same. Every barrel is unique and imparts its own characteristics onto the final product. Caramel-butterscotch, vanilla, maple syrup, leather on the nose, with a palate of cinnamon-butter, vanilla, chocolate, warm caramel & spiced pear; flows over the tongue like table cream & melted brown sugar, finishing with a hint of cayenne, rich tobacco, oak & aged leather.
Talnua Continuum Cask
Continuum Cask is Talnua's estate produced Single Pot Still Whiskey, aged for a minimum of 18 months in virgin American white oak casks, then harvested and vatted into larger solera-inspired continuum cask. The continuum cask is never fully emptied. As whiskey is removed from the cask, an equal amount of new whiskey enters. Thus, the average age in the cask will gradually increase as maturation continues over many years. The result is a whiskey with beautifully layered depth and complexity of flavor.
Talnua Peated Cask
This expression consists of Talnua's estate produced Single Pot Still Whiskey which is harvested and then finished in used Peated whiskey casks; imparting a smoky flavor to the spirit. Bold, smoky oak notes finish out this traditionally triple distilled raw and malted barley mashbill.
Telluride Mountain Mash
Distilled from a "High Altitude High Malt Rye" mash and aged in new and finished in a mixture of different used charred oak barrels(red wine, port, and sherry, just to name a few), Telluride Whiskey touts depth and complexity through its hints of vanilla, honey, and chocolate, as its light body and warm texture cover your mouth making you beg for more.
Tincup
Tincup is a blend of two great American whiskeys, each aged in #3 charred oak barrels. “High rye” bourbon, distilled and aged in Indiana, is blended with a small amount of Colorado single malt whiskey. These whiskeys are then cut with Rocky Mountain water. Tincup is named for the Colorado mining pioneers and the tin cups from which they drank their whiskey.
Whistling Hare Blue Corn Bourbon
Bourbon is about corn and balance and this bourbon is all about both. Distilled from 60% blue corn grown by the Ute Mountain Tribe in Cortez, CO, and balanced with heirloom purple barley alongside unmalted rye; this flagship bourbon is smooth and flavorful. Aged in premium new oak, this is perfect for mixing, shooting, or simply enjoying on the rocks.
Breckenridge Gin
This fragrant American-style Gin stays true to the Breckenridge ideals of mouthfeel and flavor, through maceration and botanical basket distillation. A delicate harmony of 11 botanicals layer the Gin throughout the spirit; a full-body juniper lies at the forefront, bright citrus and complementary undertones of spice give a nod to the beauty that’s created when flowery aromas meet comforting spices.
Damn Good Gin - State 38
What makes a good gin? Well, we can tell you what makes a Damn Good Gin. It's hand milled rocky mountain juniper berries combined with hand peeled orange/lemon citrus in-house. Then distilled and reverse osmosis water proofed to make the perfect gin for G&T and gin martinis. Join the Damn Good movement.
Colorado Cream Liqueur
Very similar to a traditional Irish Cream liqueur but has a little butterscotch, some hazelnut, and vanilla. Goes great in coffee!
Mythology Coffee Liqueur
A coffee liqueur that is incredibly smooth and easy drinking. Goes great in a Colorado Bulldog.
Bear Creek Silver Rum
BCD premium Silver Rum is carefully distilled from a wash of evaporated cane juice one batch at a time using a copper hybrid pot still and then chill-filtered. The result is a brilliant silver rum that can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or mixed in a cocktail.
Bear Creek Spiced Rum
BCD Spiced Rum is handmade using the award-winning Silver Rum and infusing it with their own blend of vanilla, orange, clove, all spice, pepper.
Montanya Oro Dark Rum
This full-bodied spirit shines in Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, and alcohol-forward cocktails. With 8 silver medals and one best-in-class designation, Montanya has a good feeling you’ll love it.
Tequila - Dano's Dangerous Pineapple Jalapeno
Made with fresh fruit, not flavors or extracts and our 100% agave Blanco Tequila, this Pineapple and Jalapeno Infusion is deliciously smooth!
Cuidado Tequila
Distilled from blue weber agave at Casa Maestri in Jalisco, Mexico, and bottled with care in a downtown Denver distillery. Cuidado tequila sports bright notes of pepper and citrus with smooth undertones of vanilla bean and honeycomb. Cuidado is the perfect foundation for your favorite margarita and the ideal wingman for when you end up dancing shamelessly with the very hot, but also very confused, caterer at your cousin’s third wedding.
Tequila - Suerte Anejo
This Anejo is aged twice as long as the industry standard to produce a complex & full-bodied flavor of Oaky notes, hints of berry, mint & subtle vanilla. Sure to please all palates.
Tequila - Suerte Reposado
This magnificent spirit highlights the master distiller's craft by exhibiting a perfect balance of resting time, oak, butterscotch, subtle plumb & natural Agave taste.
Mythology Vodka
Produced with Rocky Mountain Snowmelt and incorporating a portion of award-winning Chatter Wolf Vodka, Jungle Cat provides for light vanilla bean on the nose, subtle spice mid-palate, and a clean crisp finish.
Woody Creek Potato Vodka
Woody Creek Distiller's signature Potato Vodka is made from three ingredients: potatoes (native Colorado Rio Grande russet, Chepita, and Lady Claire), mountain spring water, and yeast. After being washed and mashed on-site at the distillery, the potato mash is then stripped and distilled once to produce its 80-proof vodka. What's not to love about this guy? It has a creamy mouthfeel, a slightly sweet taste profile, and it's made locally with all Colorado ingredients!
