Stranahan’s has been one of our go-to places for to-go cocktails during the pandemic. My husband and I usually prefer to make our own cocktails because we like our drinks strong, but Stranahan’s does exactly that...make strong and unique drinks! We have enjoyed taking Stranahan’s for all of our socially-distanced camping trip weekends.

My husband and I toured the Stranahans distillery on our wedding anniversary and had a blast.The entire whiskey production and aging process is explained and full access to the factory is given. I was allowed to take photographs which was wonderful. The whiskey tasting was wonderful too and my husband and I learned the proper way to drink and mix whiskey with water to obtain the full range of wonderful aged flavors.

Awesome place to just drink whiskey and cocktails and relax. Amazing staff who treat you well and are happy to give you the rundown on their booze. Fantastic local whiskey!

Best whiskey in town... the bartenders (shout out to Lucas & Steve!) are TOP NOTCH. Their seasonal cocktail menu is delicious and super crative... I legit dream about their PB&J cocktail. Even if you dont love whiskey, youll love this place, the vibe, and cocktails. They also have awesome events each year as well... never a complaint.

What were we thinking doing two distillery tours in one afternoon?!? I tell you what, it was totally worth it. Im not much of a whiskey drinker, but you have to check out Stranahans Colorado Whiskey.We had some time before the tour, so we bellied up to the bar. Steve B., mixologist and server, was really cool and explained the drinks to us. When it was time for the tour, we were introduced to Logan. He was an awesome tour guide, and has a great personality for it. He gave us a history of Stranahans as well as what it takes to make their whiskey.During the tour, we were given some samples. Again, not being a whiskey drinker, I was surprised at how you go about tasting it. And it wasnt bad! Logan even showed us what happens to the whiskey when you add a little bit of water to it. We were able to keep our tasting glass as a souvenir, and some of our group took advantage of the discount after the tour to bring home a bottle or two!

Awesome tour! We booked late on a Saturday, did the hour tour of the distillery. It was fantastic. Great explanation of the process plus they are very generous with pours during the tour. If you are a whiskey lover, treat yourself to this tour.Meaghan was our tour guide and she was awesome!!!! Best tour guide of any distillery we have been on (and it’s been a few ;-).

We were visiting Denver and were very glad to have stopped by. Steve, serving our drinks was great and walked us through tasting some flights and was very informative about their whiskey. Would highly recommend this place.

Live music, Cry Baby BBQ food truck, and of course Stranahans awesome whiskey cocktails: lovin it!Go NOW and enjoy it; try Stranahans new Blue Peak, the Cry Baby hot dog, and to the band as you ask for an encore performance of Six Feet Away--you will not be disappointed!

I bought tickets for the tour for my boyfriend on his birthday. It was us and a couple friends. We had an absolute blast! Dave was very knowledgeable, passionate and funny. He made the tour very interesting and enjoyable. He taught some of us first timers how to enjoy Stranahans and other whiskeys properly. Cool place to hang out and enjoy a whiskey. They have games at their bar too. I highly recommend!!

Im not the biggest Stranahans drinker. I like your stuff and I think you make a great product. The taste is just not my favorite. Ill never turn down a free dram though!That being said, the facility, lounge, shop and tour were all fantastic. Logan was very knowledgeable and entertaining. You guys have a great thing going. Keep it up and thanks for the experience.

Do the tour! Their guides are well versed on the brand and are awesome storytellers. The tasting room is gorgeous as well, if you want to just stop in a for a drink without the tour. If you get as lucky as I did and get selected for a bottling, make whatever arrangements need to be made to attend! It was an awesome experience overall! The staff was fun, they give you breakfast and lunch for the morning crew, as well as a sample each time the crew filled a pallet! Very cool that all their bottles are done by volunteers. Highly recommend!

Max is the go-to guy awesome time great learning experience most of all great whiskey.....

Caras tours are great! $15 per person with 3 free drinks at the end of the tour! Cocktails were fire! Highly Recommend if you enjoy some good whiskey! Cara took great care of our group! Great Service and Great whiskey! We will be back!

Wow, what an incredible tour! Our guide, Ashlene, was super engaging and funny, as well as incredibly knowledgeable about whiskey in general and Stranahans in particular.The tour is about an hour long, and you do get to taste some great whiskey. Included in the price is $10 off a bottle if youd like to take some home. The tour ends in the lounge, which has an amazing cocktail menu with skilled bartenders.Overall, its not my favorite whiskey, but it was fun to see how the spirit is made and get to try different types I probably wouldnt have sought out otherwise.Definitely worth doing if youre in Denver!

First time going and will definitely go back! The staff was friendly and informative and the outdoor seating was ideal for a sunny day

Matt was awesome! Had a great time with the tastings and the bar afterwards was a great time too.

I booked a tour for Saturday at 2pm. It was a small group of 5 and our tour guide was David. David is very knowledgeable, friendly and over great. The tour did take a 1 hour but it seem a lot shorter than that. We went to the bar afterwards and that was a great decision. Drinks where perfect. I highly recommend a tour here.

Took a tour at Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey and finished it off in the bar by trying the snowflake whiskey the tour guide recommended. The tour was super interesting and provided 3 shots of whiskey tasting with a super cute (no fall over) take home shot glass they were able to box up for us. The tour took a little longer than an hour, but we sat and chatted with the locals in the bar for an hour after that as well. Everyone there is extremely welcoming and we loved it! Hope we can find this whiskey in our home town :)

Lucas was awesome! We made our quick trip amazing. He took care of everything we needed!

Fun quick, tour with knowledgeable guides. You get to see the whole process from fermentation to bottling. There are a good amount of tastings to try and the bar inside is also a nice place to chill for a bit. Gift shop with whiskey discounts is also available to browse.

Great company, beautiful facility and best of all damn good whiskey! Do yourself a favor and take a cocktail class

Great tour - one of the only places that make single malts I know around here! You also get to tour the bottling plant - and you’ll find that the tin cup on top has quite some history!If you arrive earlier, they also have a bar for you to try some of their flights!

Fantastic place to grab a cocktail and tour. You get 3 whiskey tastings as part of the tour, plus the chance to check out the entire distilling process.The cocktails are well-crafted and wide-ranging so there’s something for those who like booze-forward as well as those who want it completely masked. Personally, I had the Funchroom that came in a cute tiki cup.

We did the tour here which was fantastic (see attached photos). A charismatic and knowledgeable guide walked us through the entire process from malting, distilling, barreling, to bottling. There were 2 tastings during the tour of 2 different whiskies. Gift shop at the end of the tour. Also a cocktail lounge with top notch cocktails. Also, the whiskey is good!

Awesome place. The bartender (bald with bandana) was incredible. He makes an amazing take on the whiskey sour. It’s a must have!

Tasty drinks! Fun staff

Really enjoyed the tasting. Lots ok knowledge gained. Stone was Amazing!

Really good whiskey, lounge area was relaxing. Great place to visit.

My girlfriend and I are in from Chicago and decided to do the guided tasting tour and we got Kevin as the leader of our tour. He was super knowledgeable about the process, the product, and broke it down easy for us to understand. Weve been to other distilleries in other states and Kevin was one of our better guides. The stemless Glencarn glass was a great souvenir to receive at the end. Diamond Peak is the best!

Great history with this one time shiner moving into the legal arena. The neat thing about craft brewers and distillers, is they do it for the enjoyment. They still have a story and they treat you like a friend when you visit. This is one of those places, and I highly recommend you stop by if your passing through Denver.

Did the tour for the first time today and it was a lot of fun. The whiskey was great, glad we got to try the original, diamond peak and sherry cask. Definitely will have to bring friends to the tour.

Good whiskey, but at a high price and excessive hype with unfortunately downhill service. The snowflake event is quickly getting out of hand. It seems like theyre experiencing growing pains as they get bigger - some events are fantastic (cask thief), others arent worth the waste of time or money (snowflake). Weve been loyal stranafans for a while, but lately find ourselves more often turning to other great local options instead, like Tin Cup or Breckenridge.

Went on tour yesterday with Kevin. So much fun! Loved every minute. Highly recommend for the whiskey lover and the Average Joe who knows nothing about whiskey. Very cool Colorado!

Great tour, good drinks. Friendly knowledgable staff

Good experience with friends when visiting Colorado!

This was my 1st Whiskey distillery tour. Max did a great job sharing the process and pulling discussion from the group. Not to mention the whiskey was pretty great also. Not a bad way to spend an hour!

Very good whiskey! Place is fun to check out and try different distilled options. Definitely allot more expensive that your average whiskey but worth the price.

This was a pretty cool tour to take. My girlfriend and I arent exactly whiskey drinkers but we figured wed check it out anyway. It was neat to see the process; the tour guide was very informative and explained the process and the history of the distillery very well. At the close of the tour, we did get to sample a couple of the whiskeys as well.With your ticket, you do get $10 off any bottle of whiskey there at their shop.

Pretty awesome! Even though we couldnt taste test. Suggestion: make 375 ml of the of Diamond and Sherry and sell variety package!

Okay, so I was wary about doing a tour. This could be awful, right? Wrong! Awesome. Funny. Informative. Free Whiskey. A good time!

Super fun tour with Matt. Cool place, enjoyed the selection of drinks at the lounge. Bartender is very friendly and well versed in the whiskey.

Tour was great. Max gave great details and had a real cool fun personality. Kept everyone engaged and entertained. Really got into how to properly do a whiskey tasting so you could fully experince the different flavors of the whiskey and the subtle changes when mixed. Product is good. The Snowflake is interesting and definitely worth trying if you like to go a little off script.However the highlight of the entire experience was Lucas in the lounge. Welcomed us. Engaged in conversation. Made some amazing suggestions on what to try based on our tastes. We had one non-whiskey drinker in the group so the mixed cocktails were perfect for here. The in house infused choices we awesome. Honey comb was my personally favorite.You could really tell Lucas and Max both truly enjoyed the brand as well as their work. And it comes through in their service. Definitely worth checking out and will most certainly be adding Stranahan to my liquor cabinet.

Fantastic tour and very informative. My tour guide Matt was very funny and knowledgeable. The bartenders Lucas and Steve were amazing and made an incredible whiskey cocktail. I highly recommend Stranahans!

Wonderful Tour and Experience. Our Tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and made it a blast!

Perfect tour of learning about Whiskey! Got super warm by this place in snowy Denver.

Lucas is the best bar tender in Denver hands down.

The standard tour is a total bargain (not to mention both entertaining and actually informative). For ten bucks a person you get two tasters and a free tasting glass - the boys over in Scotland dont even let you in for less than about $25, and they certainly dont give you a glass or more than one taster on the basic tour. In any case, its a good time and certainly good value, and that makes it feel worth it to stick around for another drink or two (or three...) at the bar, which also has great staff and even better cocktails.

Wonderful whiskey. Flights will run you 20 to 40$ . Louder atmosphere and otherwise all around fantastic. Come early seats are hard to precure.

Love Stranahans whiskey, so this was a must stop on our visit to Denver. Was not disappointed. Joshua (tending bar) was an excellent host and the tour was nice. Have a cocktail in their lounge, tour their facilities, get a discount on their stuff. What more do you want?Just sorry we couldnt carry some of their whiskey onto the plane with us.

Fun tour and totally worth it. Tours cost $11 and you get to taste two whiskeys and take home the glass.

COVID Crazy. Dont bother. Buffalo Trace is for sale locally.

Thought I knew about Whiskey. All I knew was how to get buzzed up with it. The 2 hour tour is so educational & so much fun at same time. Now I know how its made, difference in whiskeys & bourbons and most important how to really enjoy smell, taste, and drink. Even if your not a whiskey drinker, take the tour. You never know, you might be!

Not your average tour. Above average whiskey.For 10 bucks you get an informative and entertaining tour of the facility! You can learn/participate as much or as little as youd like. Obviously, the tasting segment is the most anticipated part of the tour! Our guide was really funny and knew his stuff about their whiskey!! Make sure you check out the Snowflake Whiskey ($15 - its worth it. promise.) which they make once a year and changes every year based on the barrel they use.

We enjoyed the tour & tasting at Stranahans distillery. Fun & informative. The guides do a great job. Excellent hand-crafted, small-batch whiskeys.

Parking can sometimes be difficult to find on the weekend but overall great place knowledge staff. Great flight options

Great tour and very tasty whiskey! Highly recommend going to the bar and trying the snowflake whiskey. If you do the tour be sure and get Cody as your tour guide. His personality and sense of humor makes the tour fun and enjoyable!

Great tour. Even better cocktails and conversation at the bar. Try the snowflake. If you have no idea what Im talking about, ask the bartender.

I wish I could give this place 6 stars. The best bar I’ve ever walked into. My experience was beyond what I could’ve imagined. My fiancé went on the tour with Keith, enjoying some great spirits, conversation, and luscious hair flips. While I waited at the bar to be amazed by the mixologist genius of Lucas. Truly the most memorable moment of our trip. I have never felt more welcomed than by the guys at Stranahan’s! Definitely a must visit

Here in Denver visiting my son who works at Stranahans. We sat at the bar. The bartender, Lucas, was helpful in finding a seasonal cocktail for this non-whiskey drinking woman to try...and it was great!Both he and the other bartender, Ashleen, were incredibly personable. We had a wonderful time.

Great whiskey, and while someone needed an ambulance the staff was very accommodating and helpful for the paramedics. Top notch service if you ask me.

Fun tour with a great tour guide (Stone). Cool glencairn glasses are included with the tour. Recommend the Diamond Peak.

Our tour guide, Kristen, was extremely knowledgeable and made the tasting experience thoroughly enjoyable. It’s a nice size distillery for a walking tour and the small bar on the inside has some delicious craft cocktails. Bonus: board games!

Whiskey Tour is totally worth it. Enjoyed learning about how good whiskey is made and you definately need to stay for a drink after the tour. The gift shop has great gifts for any whiskey lover, great Christmas presents too!

Outstanding tour and very fun place. The tour was very informative and relaxed. Incredible history of how the company is as formed and how it has grown.

Amazing! Every experience I have here is informative, enjoyable, and entertaining!

Whiskey is very good. Tour was a great time. The only suggestion I have is to add a photo option.. Similar to splash mountain. So you can see the look on your face the first time you taste their whiskey.

By far the gratest whiskey experience I ever had and I have been to Jameson and Bushmills in Ireland

Excellent whiskey and the tour is well worth the ten bucks. Buy a bottle of the original.

Good local whiskey. My favorite is the 4-5 year old black label called Diamond Peak. They have volunteer bottling sessions where random people are selected to help. Even though the remodeled section is great I miss the Rackhouse Pub, because the food was really good. Been on this tour three times in the past 4 years, and it never gets old.

Honestly some of the best whiskey Ive ever had. Make sure you try the Snowflake in the lounge as it changes every year.

Tour was phenomenal! Guide was informative and had a great sense of humor. Included in the tour is a tasting glass to take home, as well as several samples. Highly recommend coming if youre visiting the Denver area.

Very disappointed in the customer service I received. My close friend bought me a tour for my 30th birthday. Due to unlucky circumstances, a family emergency came the day of my tour and I had to reschedule. To top it off, I came down with the flu and had a fever on the day I rescheduled. We asked for the date to be moved - only to be met with resistance (for an already paid for gift) on moving the date. They offered discounts but yanked the paid for tour out from under me. I was very excited to go to my favorite whiskey distillery for the first time. However, after the experience - I will no longer be purchasing Stranahans whiskey. I cannot support a business that acted in such a manner. I hope this was a one-off and that if you go you receive better service - but be careful if you’ve paid and cannot make it - they will just keep your money and send you packing.

This is a MUST visit if you are ever in Denver...oh, and it helps if you love whiskey.Book a tour for $12 and be prepared for some amazing tastings.This is the first whiskey distillery in Colorado. After walking the building, you sit down and get to try 3 different types of whiskey. They are heavy pours so grab some water up front and bring it with you. Our guide was super fun, informative, and really made the tour worth the trek. Btw, from the water to the barrels, what makes this spot different is that everything is super American and made in the USA.At the end of your tour, try the snowflake at the bar. It only comes around once a year but youre able to taste it at an additional cost. Its worth it. People wait in line for a week for this stuff. Oh, and the manhattan and old fashioned look amazing. Wish I couldve tried either of them but I hit my limit, for sure.Also, you get $10 off a bottle if you decide to purchase something.

If you like whiskey you will have a great time. I had a great timeMy first time to Colorado on vacation

Great bar tender. Outstanding service.

A ton of fun! Our tour guide David gave an in-depth overview into the distillation process of Stranahan’s single malt whiskey as well as the history of the brand. We also learned about bottling and how the barrels are made. We were provided three different tastings and you get to keep the free tasting glass as well as a nice discount on bottles you purchase at the distillery. I would highly recommend if you are a whiskey lover!

Take the tour and buy a bottle. Great local whiskey.

This was an awesome experience! I tried this whiskey for the first time about 10 years ago and it instantly became a staple in my bar at home. Its a bit stronger than your typical whiskey, which makes it more dangerous. The VIP tour was amazing and well worth the extra cash and the wait.Me and my wife enjoyed everything from the whiskey, to the knowledgeable staff, and even the merch they had on site. For whiskey lovers, this place is an absolute must when visiting the city of Denver.

Great experience! The staff are so full of energy and the tour/whiskey is excellent!

Love this place so much!!!

I did the Distillery tour and it was awesome! Cost $13 to book online but worth it. Im not much of a whiskey drinker, but it was really neat to see how everything works. The samples they give you are a great size as well, and you get to keep your glass! Our tour guide, Dave, was very knowledgeable and very fun. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Denver!

Great tour and highly recommend for anyone else!

The tour is very informative. Got several great tastes. Wonderful tour guide

Great facility and a must see during a trip to Denver. Black diamond is must have on the shelf at all times.

Our group of 6 had an amazing experience and enjoyed some awesome whiskey. We also have learned ins and outs of how Stranahans is made and why its so delicious.I recommend this tour to anyone who would like to try an authentic Colorado whiskey. You wont be disappointed.

Anytime anybody is giving me samples of a delicious bourbon or whiskey Im having A GREAT TIME. Stanahans has a great product indeed. If it were distilled in Kentucky, itd probably be a bourbon. That said, our tour guide (I believe his name is David) was absolutely fantastic and were very glad we made the trip/took the tour. You must do this!

A good place to start if you arent familiar or knowledgeable with whiskey and other spirits. Their tours (not free) are very comprehensive and a great place to start if you need a remedial lesson on how whiskey is made. We all have to start somewhere. It is unfortunate though that the tours arent free considering Ive been to about 60-70 distilleries and have paid for approx 2. Stranahans included. Its probably because they are one of the larger distilleries and is a necessary evil. Fact of the matter is, making whiskey is in general, very similar no matter where you go so this would be a nice way to show your guests around or perhaps first date but I wouldnt recommend it if you arent new to the distillery experience. Their products are good of course and its a good place to get swag, but there are SO many places in Colorado that are more boutique, locally owned distillery that makes cocktails equally, if not more amazing at equal or less than what they charge. I cant review a distillery any higher than a 3 when they act like they are local and yet, are owned by Proximo which is based out of NJ to increase their production. Its misleading so I cant be more of a fan than this. Sorry guys. There are way too many options to resort to spirits that sold out to NJ. With that, a lot of the materials (i.e. barley) is local, but still....Jersey?

Single barrel, hands down, drop the mic & walk away

Stranahans easily leads the way in the American Single Malt whiskey category. Ive been on about 5 different tours with family and friends, and it never gets old. Their fun, informative, and generous with their whiskey tastings. My favorite is their black label, also known as Diamond Peak. Stranahans is easy to get to and parking has never been an issue. Their tasting room is also a great place to kick back a cocktail or two after work.

Take the whiskey tour! Its so much fun, and for $10 you get 2 glasses of whiskey and $10 off a bottle. Very knowledgeable staff, beautiful furnishings, and a nice review of history.

The tour was very informative, and just the right amount of information and tasting. Our tour guide Kevin was very engaging. They also have a cozy lounge but we did not try additional drinks. The whiskey itself was pretty tasty.

Great tour guide. Made the tour interesting and funny. Good variety of quality whiskey

Absolutely loved our visit! Luke is a fantastic bartender! Served my wife a complelementary mocktail because shes not a whisky drinker and gave us great recommendations for food when we were leaving. I love this place and will absolutely come back when in Denver.

Excellent, I recommend you to go in couple and tour is padrisimo and you can know different types of whiskey with their respective explanations of work.

Had a great time on the tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Although I did not enjoy the whiskey on the tour but my wife and I did enjoy the array of beverages offered in the lounge. Definitely worth the ten dollars to do the tour but do not pass up the lounge.

Very distinctive liquor, although the flavor cannot qualify as a bourbon...

Max is the best tour guide of all time.

Great tour, and this annual Snowflake whiskey release is a fantastic event. Hundreds of people, waiting through the night to get a special bottle.

Some of the smoothest whiskey I have ever tasted. Recommend that you do the whiskey tour, affordable with several samples. Great staff and clean facilities.

We did the tour and the bar...before and after. I wish I could remember our tour guides name, she was hilarious and the tour was well worth the time. Ended up buying two bottles to bring back with me and will be getting more. Sure wish I could get a bottle of the Snowflake.
