    Whiskey Mule
    Donna D.

    First let me say that we were there on a Wednesday at 5 so there was no one there. It felt weird. But we walked in (the door was open) and no one was at the bar. We waited a few minutes then I peeked my head in the back and yelled hello. A guy finally came from the back and took our order. We drank one, paid and left because we felt like we were intruding. The website says their tasting room is open, so I don't know why there was such a weird vibe. The drinks however were EXCELLENT. We had a mule and a daiquiri.

I went searching for a non chain bar or restaurant to support and was shocked to see that Lakewood CO of all places had a local distillery and just had to try it. It honestly exceeded my expectations as I originally planned on coming in for one drink but left after trying 3 because it was so good. My first drink was the Coffee, God and Cigarettes. This drink offered a well-balanced blend of bitter and sweet notes, both light and flavorful. The tobacco finish is present but not overpowering, making for a very enjoyable overall experience. The 2nd drink I got was the old fashioned.... Which was made with both whiskey and rum in it which left me a bit nervous to actually order it. But don't let the rum fool you, this is a classic-tasting delicious Old Fashioned. Ironically, the rum has more traditional whiskey character than their white whiskey (which tastes like scotch). If you like Old Fashioneds, you'll find this version delicious. I finished with the Serrano Cucumber Gimlet. It features a fresh cucumber essence and a well-balanced, subtle heat. A unique and excellent twist on the classic. All the in house spirits were great, Cameron the bartender on shift was able to answer any and all questions I had, the drinks were great and the atmosphere was wonderful. I'd definitely recommend giving this Lakewood distillery a shot

He told me that their whiskey is peaty but I went with a mix with their golden rum for my old fashioned. It was still too peaty for me but really smooth. I followed it up with a Mai Tai which was refreshing and also on special!

We first learned about State 38 through a Groupon, probably about a decade ago, when they had first opened their distillery in Golden. Their tour was particularly fun and interesting, as I didn't realize that the different liquors (e.g., tequila, vodka, gin, whiskey) are not necessarily determined by their ingredients, but also the distillation process, including the temperature of distillation. At the time, they were focused on making the very best agave liquors possible, and their "tequila" is amazing. I encourage anyone who's interested in liquors to join their tour, which I'm sure will still end with a complementary cocktail. We recently attended one of their cocktail classes, which the husband and wife team hold from time-to-time and are sold on EventBrite. This class included a tour, and the instructions and recipe for some of their best-selling cocktails. We discovered that State 38 has been sold, which was a little disappointing to us, given that we were drawn to the local story of two CU students coming into their own. They still have a variety of liquors, including tequila and gin, and I think vodka, but they focus a lot on whiskey now. Although I consider myself a tequila aficionado, my husband loves whiskey, and State 38 products are about as good as they get. They are very reasonably priced, as well.

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.
