Elkins Colorado Whisky in Estes Park is a true gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm. The atmosphere is inviting and perfectly captures the rustic charm of the Rockies. What truly made our visit exceptional was Marina. Her knowledge and passion for the whisky were evident, and she graciously guided us through their impressive selection. She allowed us to sample everything we were curious about, patiently answering all our questions.
We ended up taking home two absolutely delightful bottles: the Honey Whisky, which is smooth, sweet, and bursting with natural honey flavor, and the Spicy Ranch, a unique and refreshing condiment that packs a fantastic kick. Both are truly exceptional and reflect the high quality and craftsmanship that Elkins puts into their whisky and products! We also took home two great glass wares!
If you're in Estes Park and love whisky (or even if you're just curious!), a visit to Elkins Colorado Whisky is a must. And if you're lucky enough to have Marina guide your tasting, you're in for a real treat! We can't wait to return and explore more of their fantastic offerings. Highly...

While I get why they aren't reopening the distillery, it's not the same delicious depth of flavor it once was. I'll forever miss McShane's double sonic aged creations using two different woods that he kept behind the counter "oh I'll...
