Comfy spot to chill and drink
Mandy L.

I can't speak highly enough about having a real distillery making great whiskey come to Estes. They don't make flavored cheap stuff for tourists, this is for those with a real passion for whiskies - ranging from bourbons to Scottish. The owner is incredibly kind and willing to spend time talking about his craft. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also love that it is off the main drag but still close by.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely stop here on your way through Estes!

Nice to have a sign of sorts out front.

Good little place. The locals I met were very proud of the accomplishments. I am new to the area and didn't know much about the history behind the folks running the distillery or even the spirits they offered. They did offer to sell me a $40 book to learn about it. It was too packed to chat on that topic. I tried a few spirits and they were OK. I didn't think they were better or worse than stuff I have had before (i.e. other spirits). The cost was a it high for my taste. I wish them the best though. If you like spirits and are heading to/from the park you might just want to stop in.

It's a humble place and the bourbon is leagues better than any other place in Estes park (or maybe Colorado?

Great service and excellent drinks ! The scenic views are amazing and pair well with the tasty food…read more. Definitely worth a visit !

Three of us wandering around Estes Park and we were handed token for a free moonshine tasting. We…read moredecided to go in and get a sample and some lunch. I ordered the Pulled pork sandwich. It came with a decent portion of meat on a very tasty bun. You also get one choice of sides: coleslaw, fries, homemade kettle chips, smoked beans, side salad ($2 extra), Mac and cheese. I opted for the smoked beans. Flavor was good. However, beans were way undercooked and had much too much sweetness to them. I would definitely not order them again. My partner ordered the same sandwich with the Carolina BBQ sauce and had the coleslaw for the side. It was a typical coleslaw and nothing different from the usual or expected. My favorite Aunt ordered the smoked chicken club and she was very pleased. The chicken had a very nice taste of smoke without being overpowering which is easy to do with chicken. The kettle ships that she ordered were homemade and delicious. (sidenote: when asked, the server had no idea if the kettle chips were made in-house from from a bag) Overall, it wasn't a bad place to eat. If I was in town again, personally, I would probably try another place but not because this establishment was bad in any way, just to get experience elsewhere. I would not recommend the smoked beans side dish and the staff need more training on the menu so that she doesnt look silly in front of customers when answering questions.

We recently visited The Reserve before the Dirty Honey concert, and it turned out to be the perfect…read morespot for a pre-show drink (convenient walk around the block to Washington's). While the menu is somewhat limited, it's clear they focus on quality over quantity. Whiskey is, of course, the main attraction, but for those looking for something different, their Dry Town Gin or Vodka provide great alternatives. The prices are on the higher side, especially considering the smaller portions, but the convenience and ambiance make it worthwhile. The house salad was a standout--light, fresh, and paired perfectly with a honey vinaigrette that wasn't too heavy, making it an ideal choice for a happy hour snack. If you're looking for a cozy, somewhat upscale place to grab a drink and a bite before heading to an event, this distillery is worth checking out!

We had a group of 11 seated at the table by the bar (we had prior reservations) with great service…read moreon a Saturday afternoon. We mainly came for a drink or flight, but also added the snack mix; we had 3 bowls to share. We also were given carafes of water. We knew ahead of time that the Honey Smoked Old Fashioneds were quite good, so a few of us ordered them. We watched them being made at the bar next to us and they are able to smoke 4 at once using what looks like a cake stand with glass dome. They were indeed quite tasty. I also tasted a friend's Bourbon Margarita. I'd never heard of this cocktail but was interested. Again, tasty. A few of us purchased bottles of Old Elk to go. They gave golden elk bottle pours as a bonus (really nice).
