Distillery 291 Whiskey

Loved their old fashion here, my husband got a hot toddy and their drinks are fantastic. It was a nice environment and we will definitely be back again.

We didn't take the tour though we stayed and enjoyed some cocktails. I had a lovely Old Fashioned. I have to admit I wasn't so sure if I would like it while watching it being made. It. Was. Fantastic! I would definitely recommend! The place had a comfy-cool bar vibe. The bartender was informative in explaining all the different varieties in the custom ordered flight. We had a great time, made some purchases, and, definitely, would go back.

We just had the best distillery tour we've ever had. The whiskey is great and James provided a superb tour and informative conversation. Go and take this tour.

"Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough." - Mark TwainI prefer a good whiskey on the rocks, so when I had an opportunity to visit Distillery 291 during a work trip, I was very happy to stop by after my shift.The entrance area is cozy and I received a friendly greeting from the bartender. I have a tendency to get a flight (or two) with a new visit. I think I've earned an achievement badge for flight experience at tasting rooms. I'm not sure if I'm gonna have time to return, so why not try a bit of everything before flight departure?Beyond the bar confines, the space opens into the lounge area, where you can get a closer look of the distillery and white oak barrels. Stay for a moment to wax nostalgic of times before influencers, COVID-19 quarantines, and choosing beggars.Small batch, nano, or micro operations are very niche and I appreciate the local products they offer. If I was in town again, I would stop by Distillery 291 again.

This was a fabulous tour, really interesting. Dominic was a terrific guide and gave us insights on chemistry, process, history, marketing, and legal affairs! He has a great personality for the job. It was neither slow paced nor fast paced, just perfect. It was the best distillery tour we've ever had and we've had many. Highly recommend!

I've been a fan of the 291 brand for about 6 years now and finally got the chance to tour the facility. Dominic was an amazing guide and made the experience of the tour more enjoyable. The tasting room had a very rustic Colorado feel. It was a hard place to leave and I would recommend the tour to anyone visiting the CO Springs area.

Absolute must visit if you are in the Springs! We took the tour and sampled whiskies along the way! They have a great little shop to purchase your favorites when you are finished!

Just...GO!!!Ok, if you want more than that, I'll share a bit about our experience. My brother sent me a bottle of their Colorado Whiskey for Christmas. It was a hit at a Whiskey party at my house with some tough customers. We sampled 26 bottles and this came in third behind Garrison Brothers and Van Winkle 12-year-old. That's pretty hefty company for 291. Many of the guys had no idea it was a rye. It's so smooth and balanced. WOW! So, I had to go! We had a glorious tasting tour conducted by the effervescent Kandi. We added on the E whiskey too. That was so good, I brought a bottle home. She also mixed us a couple of lovely cocktails after the flight. This place has got it going ON. The story of the founder and how he started the company is great too. We enjoyed the whiskeys and the stories. Thank you, Kandi. We'll be back. You made us feel right at home!

Learning the process and history behind 291's whiskey during the tour and tasting was a great experience! The Decc is a great buy for non-whiskey drinkers, and I will definitely be back for gifts for the whiskey lovers in my life.

This place is top notch! Fantastic whiskey and Burbon. The atmosphere is ideal, and the tour is done very well. Extremely knowledgeable staff and very good prices. Highly recommend!
