A Visit to the Law's Whiskey House Tasting Room
The first of these was Law's Whiskey House in the South Broadway neighborhood of Denver on S. Acoma St. The distillery mills its own grain, ferments in open vessels and distills in a custom made four plate pot still. All of the Law's Whiskey House products are straight whiskies aged a minimum of two years in American white oak barrels.
We came in too late in the day to enjoy one of the distillery's tours, but we did manage to sample a nice flight in the tasting room.
