4 stops to try Irish, Scotch, American and local whiskey. Walk between stops good for circulation and kept interesting with stories of Denver’s past.

Lauren_N, Sep 2024
We had a great afternoon learning about Denver's history and tasting some excellent whiskeys. Will was friendly, knowledgeable and committed to providing a good time for us. We loved seeing the Dairy Block and having a private room at Seven Grand. The Mile High Spirits distillery tour was the perfect ending.
Avery_S, Sep 2024
Excellent job blending Denver history and whiskey. Guide was extremely knowledgeable, open to questions, and included visuals for his information. The tour was well thought out and designed. We were impressed by the number and variety of whiskeys we were able to try. Would definitely recommend this tour to others!

Learning about the city while having a few drinks. Sharing time with family and enjoying the walk through town.
Michael_B, Jun 2024
Tons of samples with history and architecture mixed in. Will was an excellent guide and the tour is overly generous. We had to decline samples and ask for half pours. Neat introduction to Denver. He even had ponchos if it rained. Leisurely pace
Robert_R, Jun 2024
Our guide Will was a great storyteller weaving history along with humor for an engaging tour. The whiskey tastings were delicious as well as very informative. Highly recommend this tour.

Will was very knowledgeable about Denver history and the history of whiskey. What a great way to spend 3 hours.
Brian_B, May 2023
What a fantastic tour of Denver and whiskey, in fact it might be one of the best guided tours I've ever been on. Our guide's passion for Denver's history made the tour very engaging, and the whiskey tastings came with a lot of information on the history of whiskey and how each sample was made.
Michael_S, Dec 2022
Will, was superb. You can tell he has a passion for the history of Denver. He brings to life the people whom discovered Denver. He takes his time to explain and have questions answered. It would not be the same experience with just driving around the city. Will, has made the walking tour a must do if your are visitor or even a local. The whiskey tastings are excellent. We learned the true history of Denver. I enjoyed also the history of whiskey, and how that relates to Denver. Again the tastings were awesome!!!
Aaron_W, Nov 2022
Will does a great job of blending the history of Denver and the history of whiskey into a fun 3 hours. Being able to peek behind the curtain of a distillery was really cool as well.
Mike_S, Nov 2022
My wife and I would highly recommend this tour. We live close to downtown Denver, but learned so much more about the City's history and about distilling whiskey! Will was an excellent host and we had the entire tour to ourselves.
Kamil_B, Sep 2022
I had an excellent tour with friends and strangers who eventually became friends during the experience. The tour guide was awesome and super knowledge about whiskey and Denver history.

Response from Host, Oct 2021
:( We are sad too, but the good news is that we have another Whiskey Tour that will be launched soon! Come back and see us again soon!
Matthew_M, Oct 2021
A great time learning about Denver’s early history of Outlaws and Whiskey Dealers, and playing dice!
Response from Host, Oct 2021
Thanks so much for sharing your experience and I'm so happy you had a great time. Thanks again for coming along the tour.
Andrew_A, Sep 2021
A great way to see a portion of downtown Denver while learning about its history. We stopped at three bars, providing ample time to rest and quench our thirst before moving on.
Kelly_J, Sep 2021
A fun way to Learn about the beginning history of Denver & whiskey and then also to hear current information about city locations we may enjoy visiting after the tour.
Jinger_G, Sep 2021
What a fabulous guide and tour! Absolutely the perfect mix if history, whiskey, and fun. Will was seriously one of the best tour guides ever! This is a MUST book for your trip to Denver or just a fabulous way to learn more as a local!
CHRISTI_N, Sep 2021
Whiskey Dick was entertaining and knowledgeable! We did a quick trip to Denver to watch the Giants play the Rockies and it was the perfect tour with alcohol stops and close to the stadium.
Kelly_W, Aug 2021
Whiskey Dick did a great job! Lots of history, enjoyed the games and drink recommendations! Would definitely recommend!
Jeffrey_M, Aug 2021
This is hands down the best tour we have been on ever. Will (aka Whiskey Dick) makes you feel like an old friend. He is funny, filled with facts, and keeps the action going. Absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about old West Denver and get pointers on great local restaurants and bars.
