Rising Sun Distillery

I’m originally from Denver but moved to CA. I came back to visit and decided to go on a few brewery and distillery tours. This was my absolute favorite. The owner, Dawn gave us a tour and a tasting. Best vodka and gin I’ve ever tried! Not to mention, it’s all ORGANIC! Everyone was super friendly. I’d definitely recommend it!

We came based on the other reviews and were not disappointed. Great vodka and the oak gin was my favorite. The owner was helpful and knowledge, a great find in a city filled with drinking opportunities. We will be back!

Some friends and I came here this past weekend after purchasing a groupon deal (for about $ 10, you got 2 tix for a tour and 2 craft cocktails!). The ladies were fun, informational, and attentive. I learned so much about my favorite spirit, VODKA. It’s the laid-​back, most technical but easiest to make spirit that gets along with almost everything. Hmm, I don’t think Vodka and I would be set up in an online dating site, but what do they know?
To sum up:
1) five stars for customer service
2) five stars for creative drinks. four stars for execution (not sure my blood orange mule was so mule-​y).
3) try the tour! What a great local resource for those of you who like spirits. Plus, they’re making green chile vodka!
I’ll be back to buy a bottle to enjoy somewhere and probably end up bumping up my review.

I recently went on a Craft Tour (Centennial Tours) and Rising Sun was our second stop. They had some of the best vodka and gin I have ever tasted and they specialize in blue agave organic spirits.
I am so sorry I can’t remember the name of the owner that gave us the distillery tour (was it Sol???) but he was amazing. He was informative and funny and the cocktails he made us were really good. I hope this business works out for him and his wife, it’s a really endeavor!

Like many other Unilocalers we found Rising Sun by accident (it’s next to Strange Craft Beer Company), and I’m so glad that we did! The folks here are so friendly and excited about coming up with new cocktails with their vodka and gin. They have a cute, dog-​friendly lounge area where they open up the doors when the weather is nice. I often go for one of the cocktail specials, as they are usually creative and based in local ingredients. Keep it up Rising Sun!

Great new distillery just off 25 and 13^th. Right next to Strange brewing so great place to go if there’s a mixed party of beer and liquor drinkers. Their spirits are very nice and the staff was even nicer! They make some very tasty cocktails and have a very comfortable place to sit and unwind with some craft Colorado booze

Great service. Awesome drinks. The staff are super friendly and helpful. This place is a hidden gem.

Terrific new local distillery. The owner is knowledgeable and very friendly. My friends and I just had new off menu cocktails, and have thoroughly enjoyed our time at this new spot.
It’s gorgeous inside, and they do distillery tours as well.

The Shanghai is a unique drink with a hint of spice! Their gin has a hint of juniper flavor and picked up more of the botanical flavors. Loved their gin!

What an awesome find! In town for business I found the Rising Sun tasting room to be warm and inviting with a very friendly vibe. The drink list sounds very tasty and the two drinks I had were fantastic. I’ll definitely be back and will encourage my local friends to become regulars!

A happy little detour on our way to Strange Craft!
Several of us pulled up front, fully expecting to just go directly to Strange Craft, but we noticed Rising Sun and decided to check it out. What a neat surprise!
The place is impeccably clean, organized, and the lady there was friendly, informative, and made some drinks for all of us.
It’s good to see local places doing neat stuff, and if I wasn’t going out that evening, I would have totally bought some goodies to take with me.
Only negative? The dill martini needed to be strained. There was solid dill everywhere in it, and while it was very tasty, it was tough to drink with those little sprigs.
Whatever, I’ll be back to try something new.
