Explore Denver’s Stranahan’s distillery, learn how American single malt is made, and taste four award-winning whiskeys.

About this tour

Step into Denver’s Stranahan’s distillery, Colorado’s first legal distillery since Prohibition, and see how American single malt whiskey takes shape. This one-hour Denver Whiskey-Making Tour and Tasting traces the craft from distillation through barrel aging to bottling, with a guide sharing the distillery’s history and process along the way.

Then savor four award-winning whiskey expressions and enjoy $10 off a 750mL bottle at the General Store on the day of your visit. Tours begin in the General Store, and free onsite parking is available. Arrive five minutes early to check in, bring valid ID, and wear closed-toe shoes. The distillery can be chilly in winter, while the rackhouse heats up in summer, so dress for the season.

Whether you’re discovering American single malt for the first time or already know your favorite pour, this Denver Whiskey-Making Tour offers a close-up look at the people and process behind the glass. Book your visit and raise a glass to Colorado whiskey.

How the score works and rating distribution in Denver
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.1. Top 4% in Denver means it ranks in the top 4% of tours in Denver by this score.
