Leopold Bros. — Local services in Denver

Leopold Bros. Distillery is a true gem in Denver and an absolute must visit for anyone who appreciates craftsmanship, flavor, and history. From the moment you arrive, the care and passion that goes into every aspect of this family run business is evident. The building itself is warm and welcoming, blending a sense of tradition with modern touches that set the stage for an unforgettable experience.

The highlight of my visit was the distillery tour, which was one of the most engaging and educational tours I have ever taken. Our guide walked us through each step of the process with clarity and enthusiasm, showing off the equipment, explaining the philosophy behind their approach, and sharing stories that made the experience come alive. You can tell immediately that Leopold Bros. takes immense pride in doing things the right way, not the easy way. From their unique three column still system to their careful attention to ingredients, everything is designed to create spirits that are not just good, but truly exceptional.

The tasting that followed the tour was nothing short of fantastic. We sampled twelve different spirits, each one distinct, balanced, and memorable. It was the perfect way to showcase the wide range of what Leopold Bros. has to offer, from classic whiskies and gins to fruit liqueurs that taste fresh and vibrant. Every pour revealed the artistry and patience behind the bottle.

Two spirits stood out as personal favorites. The Three Column Still Rye was bold yet refined, with layers of spice and depth that lingered beautifully. The Three Column Still Peach Liqueur was equally impressive, capturing the essence of ripe peaches in a way that was both natural and elegant without ever feeling overly sweet. Together they represent the best of what Leopold Bros. can do, pairing technical mastery with a genuine respect for flavor.

What makes the entire experience even more special is the atmosphere created by the staff. Everyone we met was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about their work. That sense of pride and hospitality makes visitors feel not just like customers, but like guests invited into something meaningful.

Leopold Bros. is not just a distillery. It is a place where tradition, innovation, and artistry come together to create something unforgettable. Whether you are a seasoned whiskey drinker, a curious newcomer, or someone who simply enjoys learning about how things are made, this distillery will leave a lasting impression. It is one of the best experiences Denver has to offer, and I cannot recommend it...

I've been on quite a few distillery and brewery tours over the years, and this is still simply the best. It's my go-to Denver activity for family and other visitors, so much so that I've now done the tour 5 times, and several cocktail classes as well. I just took my sister on the 5th tour last night, and it's still excellent.

Don't be put off by the $20 ($21 & change with fees) price tag. First of all, I believe it's Colorado law that you can't taste much, if anything, on a free tour. Second of all, you get WAY more for your money here than on any other tour I've been on. The tour takes about 90 minutes, and it's really remarkable how much information they provide on it. You'll hit pretty much every phase of the distilling process, including the barrel house (which is a relatively recent and welcome addition to the tour), with tastes of about 6 different spirits along the way. Then to the tasting room to try another 4-ish spirits, for a grand total of 10. And if there's something you really wanted to try that wasn't included in the 10, just hop up to the bar, and they'll pour you a taste. All the tastings are in a nice glass glass (not a typo), which is yours to take home. And including in the ticket price is $10 off the purchase of 2 bottles.

I honestly don't have any criticism of the tour. Two cautionary notes, though. First, I don't know if kids are technically allowed, but I would advise against bringing them regardless. They'll be bored out of their minds, you don't want to have to be distracted watching them, and while the tour isn't particularly dangerous, there is machinery, hoses, etc. that might prove pretty tempting to little ones. Second, you'll be on your feet for the vast majority of the 90 minutes, so if you have trouble standing/walking continuously for that long, this might not be for you. It's probably wheelchair accessible, but be aware that this is an operating plant, so it would probably take quite a bit of maneuvering in a wheelchair.

In sum, DO THIS TOUR! It's a great experience, and you'll walk away feeling good about...

They have a really nice facility here. My friend and I took the tour, and you really get the opportunity to taste many of their products and learn a lot. Biggup the staff the there (especially Alyssa and Alex- please excuse me if I misspell any names). Alyssa was our tour guide and she was nothing short of excellent. Everyone was really friendly, knowledgable and accommodating throughout our time there. We were also lucky enough to meet Todd Leopold in passing. An interesting, funny, and clearly passionate person, he was gracious and generous with his time and talked to us for a few minutes. I was admittedly already sentimental about their products and their savoir faire, and talking to Todd and practically everyone there really added something special and invaluable to the experience. If you're in Denver, I encourage any spriits lover to visit the distillery. Thanks again to everyone there. I hope to see you all again on another visit to...
