And if you learn a little about the distilling process along the way, even better. It’s our mission to help you and the people you care about have a damn good time with damn good drinks.

This is all well and good, but it should be noted that one’s ability to discern tasting notes in these “handcrafted” spirits usually depends on how well the taster’s beanie matches their flannel and not necessarily on the spirit’s actual merit. They all talk about how great their product is and how internationally trained their owners are and how “time is the secret ingredient”. The harsh truth is that most of these “craft” spirits aren’t really any different than their competitors. ‍ Now the shelves are stocked with $90 bottles of bourbon demanding your praise because ol' grandpappy found this particular recipe in a Rocky Mountain coal mine during the dark times.

Gone were the days of you and a handful of your goofy college buddies clinking god knows what cocktail over the firepit while daring Kevin to jump nude into the neighbor’s pool. We started our business shortly after craft spirits decided they needed to be serious for whatever reason. Our goal was to create the best spirits possible using high quality, local ingredients as the foundation for recipes that would be brought to life by the most experienced craftsmen we could find - All without being obnoxious snobs about it. In 2011 Mile High Spirits set out to inspire a new standard in craft distilling.
