Laws is a very special place. They've been producing some of the state's finest whiskey for the last decade. From humble tasting room beginnings where they could only provide neat pours to a stunning whiskey sanctuary complete with an elegant and beautifully designed cocktail lounge, everything about this place is a home run. Laws is not only in the conversation for the best whiskey in Colorado, but also for the best cocktails in Denver. Upon my last visit, they had a churro old fashioned on special and it was glorious. The paper plane was just as delightful, one that was so excellent I may have chugged it a bit too quickly. When you visit take the time to do a tour of the facility. I personally feel like you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you don't, because learning about their grain to grass process is one to celebrated. As their tagline suggests, "there are no shortcuts" and in this day in age where everyone is looking for the quickest way from point A to point B, Laws does everything the correct way to achieve their signature whiskey. For me, their San Luis Valley Rye is my number one. However, all of their bourbons are stunners. I'm intrigued to try some newer expressions and experimental releases they've unveiled over the last year. To me, they can do no wrong. For the whiskey lover or the whiskey novice, Laws is towards the top of the list. Hands down, one of my favorite spots in Denver!
This has become one of our favorite go-tos in Denver (and not just because it has a parking lot just off Broadway!) :) Law's is just enough off the beaten path (around the corner off Broadway) that you might just walk by it and not notice, or just never turn down the side street. But this is a true hidden gem! Inside is super sleek and modern. There's a spiral concrete staircase taking you to the second floor where there's a rounded bar, couches & comfy chairs, and some high top tables. Music is not blaring. Lighting is moody. You also get a little bit of 2nd story views. Onto the drinks - everything I've had so far is amazing, and I'm not even a huge whiskey person. Their cocktails are blended very well though - if you don't love whiskey, I still recommend giving it a shot. I can't remember the most recent seasonal drink I had there but it was so good - it had sage in it which blended out the fruity flavors so well. All the waitstaff have been very friendly and are great at giving cocktail suggestions based on your tastes.
Today I've become a fan of Laws Whiskey! my wife and I went on their tour and it was great and informative. Big thanks to Stephanie and Mark. Man Mark was so great to us and for that we'll definitely be back for another visit and will bring some friends as well. I don't wanna spoil it for others but definitely take the tour. Nice sexy tasting room too.
When they refer to themselves as a Sanctuary, they aren't kidding! Came by to taste some whiskeys and have a cocktail with my husband and baby on a sunny summer Sunday afternoon and had a fantastic time. It's worth noting that kiddos are only allowed in before 6pm. The space is just gorgeous. Beautiful staircase upon entering (but don't worry, they have a nice elevator to get those like us with strollers upstairs easily) and the upstairs lounge area is equally stunning. Ample stools at the bar, plenty of high tops and tons of cozy couches and armchairs. Plus room for us to park the stroller! Gorgeous artwork as well. We went with a tasting flight of their ryes - and took a bottle of the San Luis Valley Straight Rye home (though they were all delicious). For cocktails, my husband is a classic Old Fashioned kinda guy and he was very happy with his choice. I opted for the special old fashioned which was inspired by churros and very yummy; would absolutely get again! On the whole, top marks for Laws. Really looking forward to returning :)
Laws Whiskey was awesome! I attended a private event so obviously my experience was a little different than the average joe, but I can still speak to the wonderful service and quality of the whiskey. As an avid whiskey lover and a fellow service worker in the distillery world, I have so much respect for Laws process. From the four grains they use in many of their spirits, to the open valve system so you can actually see the process with your own eyes, I was very impressed. The tour was informative and engaging, and I learned a lot! I ended up leaving with a bottle of their plum brandy and a nice buzz after two delicious craft cocktails and some tasters. Although the drinks weren't super spirit forward, the intricacies of their flavor profiles surely made up for it. Thanks for a great night! I will be back.
Welcoming feel... for novice whiskey drinkers and connoisseurs alike! Service oriented and friendly staff. The Whiskey lounge is located abive a beautiful spiral staircase and has a warm and inviting feel with a social vibe and views of the Rockies. Great for a girls night or after work socializing... or before a night on the town. There are plenty of whiskey flights to try... but my favorites are the cocktails. The ild fashion is delightful and smooth. But, the black manhattan, with notes of cherry is now a fav of mine! The whiskey church is the first stop of the distillery tour and adds great detail to the story of Laws Whiskey. Knowing the heart makes the whiskey taste better! The staff are excellent at helping folks make a whiskey bottle choice based in likes and dislikes... I'd go back for sure for an evening of fun!
Beyond personable staff.... Stopped in last night at cocktail lounge, and returned today for a distillery tour and finish off with a few pours and cocktails. The vibes ...outstanding! If you're a whiskey/bourbon drinker you MUST stop in! BTW Thank you Robin for an I formative tour. We will return to enjoy the vibes soon!
Great place to grab some excellent cocktails with a view! Laws newer place really shines and delivers some of the best bourbon. I had a meat cone (speck and truffle cheese) and I saw on the menu they offer other meats/cheeses/olives combinations. They offer tours which are informative and a great way to see the whole operation. Great space with lots of comfortable seating options. I'll be back!-)
Our family planned a Colorado vacation this year, and I immediately booked a tour of the Laws Whiskey House as the 2023 Laws Cornerstone Rye is an absolutely favorite rye whiskey in my bourbon club. My wife and I took the Laws tour with Demi, and she was an absolutely great host. Not to mention, the cocktails we took with us on the tour were perfect. She was excellent at explaining the process at the distillery and which things make Laws unique. In addition, she was amazing in the tasting room explaining to my wife the process of making a 4-part tasting a great experience as my wife typically prefers rum to whiskey. Samantha also gets a huge shout-out as she reminded us of one of our best friends from my medical school class. The ladies were extremely accommodating while allowing our kids to stay in the lobby during the tour. Laws was already a favorite as I mentioned the 2023 Cornerstone Rye is an absolute must-try if you can ever find a bottle, but now after the experience with Demi and Samantha, we will be supporters from Illinois forever. I took home 4 bottles including an Origins 10th Anniversary Four Grain that my bourbon club will be sampling soon. We also purchased way more merch than expected including an awesome bar mat. As we told Samantha, if a barrel head or barrel would ever be for sale, we would absolutely add this to our home bourbon bar.
This place is so chill. Going from Stranahan's to this place was a definite gear shift but I loved the smaller environment, got to talk to other locals, the tasting was incredibly reasonably-priced and the Rye was incredible. Bartender was super kind, knowledgeable, and enjoyable to talk to! I am very glad we made the trip over to this, sorta, hole-in-the-wall place in an industrial area - well worth the trip. Do more than one flight - they .5 oz pours so you can really sample a LOT!
Picked up some of their agave spirits (which are awesome!). Their regular whiskey stacks up against the best. And, if you like variety and unique finishes, try their excellent Calvados or Madeira. The tour can't be beat, either. Schedule one for a small group of friends!
Came in with my brother in law to check out a local distillery he likes. It was excellent for a tour. It was great to hear about the trials and tribulations early on with the business. The tour was super informative. The facility is very nice and modern. It's funny how they operate in what I would consider a mixed use area. The whiskey was excellent and am thankful we got to try a few different types. read more
What an experience! We came to show up for a friend to give him a surprise for his 40th birthday, ended up chatting to Chris behind the counter as I wanted to check out what special items you had before taking the tour to pre-plan what I may need to leave with... hah. We ended up doing the tour, and lo and behold there's Chris again! We had a great time with our group and had some fun trying to volunteer some questions to stump Chris and he had the answers in deck and we had some great laughs along the way. We're pretty hopeful that the name Gordon we volunteered for the Gargoyle by the grain storage tanks will stick... I mean, we pulled that name out of thin air and it felt like a damn good name for a Gargoyle hanging out by the grains! Moving on, I e had a great time and till be back. We ended up chatting with Chris about all sorts of things and parlayed into some conversations about home brewing and shared some pics of my set up and chatted about what he was exploring to get into himself. You guys have a damn good crew with a passion for the business and a love for what you do and represent. And I appreciate and applaud you for it! Keep making amazing whiskey and we'll keep drinking it! We ended up grabbing an awesome hoodie and long sleeve to go, and an had to bring home the Centennial Straight Wheat 7yr bonded, and the San Luis Valley straight Rye 10yr Bonded... and a Laws racket to represent at the home bar, both have already been opened and shared with some friends in the last 24 hours and will be enjoyed more to come! read more

Top shelf whiskey here - at this Colorado distillery soon to celebrate their 12th year. The tour is awesome! Highly recommend. It goes deep into how they operate their distillery. Our tour guide, Crystal, was phenomenal. She knows her whiskey, bourbon and rye. read more
A fun visit. We took the private tour. Laws tries many different mashbills and finishes. We like some expressions very much. We were able to taste everything we wanted, allowing us to be confident in our purchase decisions. The distillery is building a large addition. read more

Smaller distillery, but a very personable tour. With the tour we got $10 to soend in the giftshop or trade for a cup, or glencairn. Fun tour of seeing the grains, mash, and barrels getting moved for aging. read more
I recently attended an event through Colorado's chapter of Bourbon Women and had a great time. I'm still a bourbon neophyte, but the folks at Laws made me feel just as at home as those who clearly knew their stuff - and beyond that, I really enjoyed their bourbon! Great staff, great product - I'll definitely be buying from Laws in the future! read more
Fun Fact: Laws Whiskey boasts the second largest still in Colorado! Yelp's week of Whiskey Business continued for me at one of my favorite spots. I love a tour, and the one here is exceptional. With visuals, analogies, and passion, Crystal led us through a fun and informative inside look at the process of making whiskey. And no matter how many tours I take, I always learn (or relearn) something new. At the end, we had a guided tasting of their bourbon, rye, and corn bonded. I then wandered into their tasting room and enjoyed their Flight of the Month: Curacao Orange Liqueur, Agave Liquet, and Agave Aurum. No cocktails here, but their experts can get you a flight that won't disappoint. Sign up for a tour on their website! read more

This is my second time doing their tour. It is always great, and I learn a ton. The whisky I really enjoy! They also have an agave spirit that is so good if you like tequilas. I will be back, especially when you open up next door! read more
We toured Laws last weekend and it was up there among the best distillery tours we have taken. They gave almost a classroom style breakdown of how whiskey is made before you begin the tour and they use that time to engage with the tour group and really breakdown the process and history of distilling. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and also personable and took the conversation in directions that clearly were of interest to our particular group. She obviously knew a ton about each piece of the process so she could keep us entertained whatever we asked her. The tour ends with a guided tasting of 3 of their delicious whiskeys. If you are new to drinking whiskey or an old drunk like me it doesn't matter, the guided tasting is great information to have. We will be back. read more

Tucked just one block off Broadway in the Park Hills neighborhood is a discreetly hidden high-end, whiskey distillery. Laws is doing whiskey the right way, with high-end ingredients and honest work to create a product that is approachable and also incredibly delicious. Highly encourage you to plan ahead for a private tour, but even if you can't, you should come in for a public tour and enjoy the knowledge, base and kindness, and well educated staff here at the distillery. Laws hosts a tasting room with all of their bottled offerings as well as opportunities to purchase unique bottles you can only find here. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend. read more

Love, love, love Laws Whiskey! I've been buying Laws for a few years now for my cocktails and whiskey drinks at home, and only recently made it to the tour and tasting room. The tour was fabulous and a great way to spend a hot summer day. We got to view the distillery, learn about the process for making whiskey, and hear all of the ways Laws tries to be environmentally friendly. The tour ends with a tasting and time to hangout and chat. Definitely will be back! read more
