From Moonshine to Maturity: A Guided Whisky Tasting with Craig Engelhorn
Ever wondered how a raw, fiery spirit transforms into the smooth, complex whisky we all love? Join us for a rare opportunity to learn directly from our Founder & Head Distiller, Craig Engelhorn, as he leads you through the fascinating journey of whisky maturation.
From Moonshine to Maturity – Taste our whisky at different stages of aging, starting with unaged spirit and moving through years of cask development. Experience how time, wood, and environment gradually transform the flavor and character of whisky.
Inside the Barrel – Discover what really happens inside the cask. Craig will break down the science and the magic behind maturation, from how oak interacts with spirit to how Colorado’s dramatic climate accelerates and deepens flavor.
Guided Tasting Experience – Enjoy a structured tasting designed to highlight the whisky’s evolution, from bright, raw notes to the layered depth of a fully matured spirit. Along the way, you’ll gain a new appreciation for the craft, patience, and artistry behind every sip.
This is more than a tasting—it’s a deep dive into the heart of whisky-making. Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or just beginning your journey, you’ll walk away with both knowledge and flavor memories that linger.
