We had time to go grab a cocktail from the bar prior. Ryan was behind the bar, crafting beverages for folks. My husband chose to have a Sazerac, while I went for an espresso martini. Drinks in hand we headed back to spend time with Forrest, who took us on a brief tour of the facility. He gave us the history of how Stranahan's started. It was interesting to learn that they bottle by hand. We came to our tasting set up. At each couple there were jars with items to smell that would be aromas or tastes we would experience, like rose, leather, tobacco, and cinnamon. There were four tastes paired with caramel, cheese, chocolate and fig. Each pairing brought out different flavors in the whiskey samples. We both had a lovely time and at the end, I had my husband pick a favorite for me to get for him for his birthday. Great experience!

It is an hour long guided event including several whisky tastings along the way. It is a wonderful narrative plus science explanation. Really nice. Our tour guide was 10/10 engaging. She gave me permission to share her name in my review: Frances. And she to make sure to let Wally know she is far superior hahahaha! Her enjoyment and love of her work made the tour so much better than any tasting experience I have had. Take some cash to tip your guide at the end! The separate bar is lovely, beautifully crafted and plenty of room for friends to enjoy the full menu of spirits. Highly recommend!!

Sure, your location was a little hard to find (and by little, I mean ALOT) but parking is ample, an extra event venue is attached next door and your twinkle lights had us beckoning to walk in! Once we walked through your doors, your super sweet staff was there to greet us, give us a run-down of the holiday specials on the menu and offer us a variety of tastings! It's your vodka that really shines through - so much in fact, that my husband and I left with a bottle of your in house made Peach Vodka to enjoy for later! Dad loved his Bourbon, while Mom, my husband and I were easily obsessed with your take on a holiday espresso martini with cream - which was absolutely delicious! I'm obsessed with you and happy to find you in my hood - aka the burbs! I can't wait to return in the summer - because THAT patio! Until next time! -Your new biggest fan, Katie F

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

They had a wide variety of choice for their drinks. I believe that they make all of their own alcohol on site. The service was very good, I was impressed by the kindness and knowledge of the drink menu that they had. I tried a few items off the menu. I had the chips and salsa which were very good. I believe the chips and salsa were made by the food truck that is outside. The Mac and cheese was good but a little overwhelming with the thickness and amount of cheese sauce put on it. The chicken wings were very good, well cooked with great crisp on the outside and soft and delicious on the inside. My favorite item were the sliders though. Both styles were really good and for $5 each it is a great value. I enjoyed my experience at Rocket Spirits and will be back to try more of their food and drinks.

I emailed Don about scheduling the tour, and he was super flexible, as well as responsive. We learned so much on the tour about how the operations work. I love their commitment to staying as local as possible. Don is obviously very passionate and super knowledgeable. Plus the drinks! I had an old fashioned, which really let their bourbon shine. They also have mocktails, so that was a nice option for our DDs. The tasting room is small but very comfortably appointed, and we loved the local art displayed. Highly highly recommend- what a great experience! We will be back for events for sure.

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.
