    We went for a tour and tasting and had a great time trying all of the products. A bonus is a 10% discount when you purchase during a tour/tasting and a 10% discount for first responders, military and teachers.

    Yes. The answer is yes, I would highly recommend coming here. The answer is yes I will be coming back. Just all around yes! A little zealous? Maybe. But why not be when something is worth it. Walking in, I was greeted with complete warmth and friendly smiles. I had received to go drinks for an event and the one I've tried made a believer in why quality drinks are talked about so much. I'm a wine drinker and don't drink cocktails very often. So this place made me scoot out of that comfort zone and welcomed me with open arms. The drink I had was called Kevinnnnn! Haha themed drinks for the event as stated, which was so adorable! It had whiskey, citrus, spiced honey syrup and orange biters. Everything is made in house and, I must say, I can taste the love! The drink was festive and perfect. I'm a light weight, and these were doubles so its one for me. But! I can't wait to try the other two. I can't wait to come back for date night.

    Christmas movie night - home alone edition.  Delicious cocktails and a sweet little spread from Full Board, so yum!!!

    What a fun place!! I stopped in while out running errands and was the only one there but I guess not that many people drink whiskey at 2pm on a Wednesday. Met Travis just inside and boy was he a delight to talk to! He told me all about the distillery, the selection of bottles they offer, educated me on some of the laws that just blew my mind, and told me all about what came in the Yelp elite event pack I was picking up. I tried a sample of their Bluefish whiskey and definitely had to by a bottle! Very smooth and bold at the same time. Travis said they were moving to a new location, near Nevada and Fillmore which I am stoked about since I'm more often in that area. Looking forward to the future of Blackhat and my next visit!! Thanks for a great midweek date night in!

    The tasting room

    We did their tour tasting with take home shot glasses. It was absolutely amazing! And we had a ton of fun learning about the history of this place as well as tasting so many different alcohols that they have on the property. Our tour guide was amazing! I highly recommend this place

    Absolutely love the staff, the vibe, and the drinks. Jim and Ashlee are phenomenal bartenders, and I definitely plan on making this a regular spot. I highly recommend a flight to get a taste of everything this local distillery has to offer! If you're in the Springs, you don't want to pass this up! It's a little off the beaten path, but Blackhat is well worth the visit. Every craft cocktail we tried was delicious, and we can't wait to go back to try more!

    Great experience at this unconventional distillery. Blackhat bucks the Colorado trend of offering only whiskey by producing a full catalog of spirits, including some of the most unusual rum I've ever enjoyed. Sad but cautiously optimistic about the closing of the standalone distillery tasting room and the folding into an existing bar in town.

    Great distillery that offers atmosphere alongside delicious cocktails; a place where you can have conversation, great drinks made (some in front of you), and be in the moment.

    Looked for a local spot that was owned or operated by a woman to have a little tribute to the Notorious RBG & celebrate women's empowerment & Black Hat was just the right place. My girlfriends & I were NOT disappointed. Montana was an amazing tour guide through our "spirit"ual experience. The handcrafted drinks were infused with so much passion & intention that it makes it impossible to "just grab a drink". You're going to have an entire experience. Everything is made in house and Montana has very high standards. This is the kind of ritualistic magic that you can feel and taste. My friends and I will most certainly be back.

    I'm kind of sad we may never be back due to living in Florida but do yourself a favor & make a Sunday visit to see Jim.

I also had the Bear Necessities espresso martini. It was dessert in a cup!! Everyone there was great and quick to help serve. Bobby gave us a great background on how all the spirits came about. We loved the atmosphere. We can't wait to come back next summer.

    Wonderful team, great historical building and a knowledgeable guide makes for an amazing Distillery…read moretour! The atmosphere at this distillery is a great mix of history, craft, innovation and true love for their business. During the tour we learned about their two distillery cats, who keep the grains safe from hungry little mice, who coincidentally are named after bootleggers :) We also learned about the ghost of a little girl, which the call Molly, and about the many business ventures and owners of this historic cabin. We learned that the stained glass are very special as there is no cross lead structure keeping the glass together, we learned about the Swedish blacksmith who furnished the huge fireplace (one of the largest in CO) with it's horseshoe ornamental hooks and other ironwork. We learned about the bomb shelter in the back, as well as proper procedures and temps needed to create the various proofs they produce here. Black Bear is the only distillery in the nation who has been able to obtain permission from Ireland to produce Irish Style Whisky abroad. They are just a great group of people, with a passion for spirits, that want to share their love and knowledge with the world. Go see them if you have a chance. New businesses are what breeds new life into small old towns like Green Mountain Falls. Take a trip up the pass, and go see this place. Better yet, get a map stamped and embark into a Colorado-wide distillery road trip. You won't be disappointed.
