Intrigued by the statement "the largest whisky selection in Denver" or something like that on a banner outside. They have an impressive collection on display when you walk in. An incredible list of whiskeys and Bourbons. Not exactly priced friendly for most, nevertheless they have most everything. Didn't try the food but did try the Bourbon. I'd come back for sure

Awesome bourbon bar in old town Fort Collins. Had a glass of 15 year pappy. Great vibe, friendly staff and good service. Highly recommend for a cocktail to start or end the evening.

"The Whiskey," a renowned establishment proudly boasting the title of the 3rd largest whiskey bar in the United States. With that being said it hold true to the title. The whiskey selection is hands down the best in this area with so much to try that you get lost in the whiskey menu... which is 100% ok in my book. I highly suggest if you have not tried Pappy's, they make a poor mans pappy's and it is very close to the real deal. Give it a try ... Trust me it will not disappoint. One of the bartender's we met is on his way to being a Whiskey Master 3. Very impressed with what I learned from him.... If you are in the area give these guys a try

This place has an INSANE amount of whiskeys and bourbons. Wow. The place looks cool and has a great vibe. The bartender we had was amazing. I'm not sure of his name but you can hear him in the one video. Haha he was the daytime bartender. Leaves at 5pm. He was great. The BOOK of whiskeys and bourbons was overwhelming. They had some great non whiskey cocktails for those like me who aren't super into whiskey haha

Whiskey sour with egg whites. Delicious

Amazing selection of whiskey from bourbon, scotch, irish, japanese, indian, armagnac, cognac, etc. also the most allocated whiskey from macallan edition no1, cheesy gold foil wild turkey, btac, pappy and anything you could want. Cocktails are delicious as well. Loved the whiskey sour made with egg whites for that creamy foam. Well done Juan and team!

What an amazing place, there is so much to try that you get lost in the whiskey menu... which is 100% ok in my book. Suck an awesome place and the staff were on top of the game. We'll be back soon!

Amazing Whiskey selection!! Something for everyone whether you're into neat whiskey or cocktails. Savannah, one of the managers, was SUPER knowledgeable on their whiskey and scotch selection, and definitely holds her own in a highly male dominated industry. Bar has a speakeasy feel with plenty of staff ensuring every customer was taken care of. We had the bacon cheese fries which were very good; I had the selected barrel flight from The Whiskey's picks and an Old Fashioned! We will definitely be back next time we're in town! Well over 3200 whiskeys to choose from and a tequila bar as well.

All the whiskey well some of it

Many thanks to the kind owner who graciously gave us a tour on Saturday (when they don't normally…read moredo tours) after our flight was super delayed and we couldn't make our Thursday tour we had scheduled online. It was probably one of the best distillery tours I've been on, he was so knowledgeable about spirits in general, you could tell he was passionate about making a quality whiskey. Not only did he talk extensively on whiskey, but all other spirits - vodka, gin, tequila, bourbon v. rye v. irish v. blended whiskey. Why we can't call something "tequila" in the U.S. because it isn't made in Mexico. It was more of a insightful tour of spirits and then talked about his specific distillery. You can tell how much he cares. The spirit tasting at the end was also insightful - taught us how to smell the whiskey, from top to bottom and how it smells different. Compared the un-barreled to the barreled whiskey, it was just a great distillery tour. Thank you! The tasting room is small, and the location is relatively out of the way of most things, but the bartender was very kind and showed us the MANY menus. If there is a piece of advice I'd give, it's condense your menus so it's not so overwhelming. I was also surprised that such a purist has so many sweet drinks on their menu - pudding, girl scout pairings, etc. Maybe just for Easter and holidays? Give this place a try, much better than NOCO distillery.

I thought I had progressed taste bud wise to a whiskey tasting but as it turns out my cool factor isn't there yet. Instead I settled on a whiskey cocktail that was quite delicious. I had wanted a Kentucky mule but they were out of ginger beer which was a shame so I went for a whiskey sour. Their cocktail was a winter version with some spiced simple syrup that while tasty, I would have preferred to not have the cinnamon notes. I ended up passing my flight over to the hubs and our friend and they were most happy indeed. The staff was really nice and definitely into their craft.

It doesn't look like much at first and the space is small, but it has a cozy, upscale but laidback feeling, which is very inviting. The bar seats are designed in a fun way, where they are anchored by a steel arm that moves in and out (relative to the bar). You'll understand what I'm saying when you visit. The bartender we had was Mo and Sebastian the creator and owner, was there was well. I have a histamine intolerance so can only imbibe clear alcohols every so often and Sebastian was very helpful and knowledgeable about what I should avoid. Mo was great and was happy to alter the NOCO Collins cocktail for me and made it with vodka instead. I also had a Rose Gintini and that tasted great as well. All cocktails were balanced and fresh. I will definitely we visiting here again and would recommend highly. :)

We showed up about 10 minutes before our start time, met our guide Michelle, and looked around the property and gift shop. Michelle led us through the distillery, which is a pretty small operation, teaching us about their distilling process and the history of the company. The tastings were fantastic and it felt like the appropriate number for the 60-70 minutes of the tour. After the tour we got a drink at the bar to try another whisky that wasn't sampled on the tour. All the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and laid back on our Sunday evening visit. They have other events that sound really fun to come back for!

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!

I have a weakness for a great whiskey bar. My wallet knows it. My liver knows it. My wife…read moredefinitely knows it. Sometimes I show up hunting for rare pours. Other times I'm just in the mood for a cocktail that reminds me why I don't waste my time at places that think whiskey and cola is "craft." This visit was all about the cocktails, and Seven Grand absolutely delivered. Josh, our bartender, was running the room like a conductor leading an orchestra of happy whiskey drinkers. He asked what we liked, made a couple of recommendations for Old Fashioneds based on our preferences, and absolutely nailed it. Every drink was balanced, flavorful, and dangerously easy to sip. The guy knows his whiskey, knows his cocktails, and somehow still manages to make everyone at the bar feel like they're his only customer. The whiskey selection is enough to make a bourbon nerd lose all sense of financial responsibility, but surprisingly, we escaped without needing to refinance the house. If Josh doesn't own Seven Grand, someone should probably look into fixing that. Until then, I'll keep showing up to "try just one drink"... knowing full well that's a lie I tell myself every single time. Highly recommend. Just don't blame me when two hours mysteriously disappear.

But no one was overly rowdy or raucous. People were friendly and conversational but stayed in their lanes also. Even though all these years have passed. And the pandemic has ravaged many businesses. The quality and service here still makes this place one of the best whiskey bars around!!!
