Ein Prosit
Frisco, Colorado
Award-winning craft spirits handcrafted in the Rockies
At 9097 feet in Frisco, Colorado, Pullman Distillery makes no pretence. Rocky-Mountain spring water and local produce give its Alpine Gin, silver-medal single-malt whisky, and quirky small-batch potions a real, unvarnished quality. The spirits earn their accolades because they taste great, not because they're over-hyped, and there's no pretence today.
It isn't a run-of-the-mill warehouse, although it does have a former train car converted into a quirky event venue. There are inventive cocktails, a bakery that bakes sausage, and even craft beer – because if you can't have beer, you've got to be a lunatic.
The staff are as friendly as a man who knows his whisky and isn't afraid to recommend the right one — the Pullman Bourbon, for example, has a reputation that actually keeps the whisky crowd honest.
Live music on certain nights keeps the place lively; a selection of German beers proves they've thought of every detail.
