Feisty Spirits

I experienced this place solo, as my pal had to bow out AND the other tour group left 10 minutes after I got there. I tend to ask a lot of questions — some of them dumb, some of them rather technical — but Jamie and Stephen were very patient and I got to learn about distillation (which I knew very little about previously) from a couple of very dedicated guys. And the logo would make for a fabulous tramp stamp tattoo!

The tasting room is small, but the whiskey is very good. I enjoyed *trying* the hops and bier schnapps, but the straight bourbon really stood out with a nice, smooth flavor. I also really liked the apple brandy and apple brandy variants. I was also really impressed with the variety of liquors they had on the menu, and although I was not able to try them all, I would consider going back with the right crowd.

We got the Groupon for the tour and taster trays. The tour was pretty neat, they took us through the distillery and let us try the whiskey in its various stages. We then got to check out the barrel room and learn about how different barrels can significantly change the taste of the whiskey.
Our taster trays were pretty nice, and was more than enough for the four of us. We tried almost everything. Our favorite from before we came was the Maple and Cinnamon whiskey, and it kept its spot as the best.
They try to make a lot of different kinds of whiskey, which is kind of neat, but I think it would be better if they tried to perfect a small few. Their bourbon was pretty good, but not the best I’ve ever had. I think for now I’ll just stick with the Maple and Cinnamon, which is quite fitting with the snowy weather we’ve had lately.

Feisty Spirits impressed me in so many ways! This is a very small distillery that makes whiskey. A large group left right as we arrived leaving the bar completely open. The two bartenders spent 10 minutes giving us the run down of the choices, as well as their process. We ordered two flights, which is 8 half-​ounce pours. While we tried two infused whiskeys, the real action is their red and blue corn varieties! Don’t miss them! There un-​aged blue corn bourbon is one of the best I’ve had. The bartenders talked us through each bourbon and whiskey; they were wonderfully informative!
But if you read nothing else… GET THE COFFEE LIQUOR! Apparently they just got approval to bottle and sell this, but this is the best coffee liquor I’ve ever had. It is so minimally sweet, with strong coffee flavor and a buttery finish. Feisty is taking their time and making quality spirits, and I can’t wait to go back!

Highly recommend taking the tour with the friendly owner to try various interesting spirits. Enjoyed their cocktails at the end.

Nestled in a warehouse was a gem of a find!
True Whiskey lovers that gave an excellent tour and were very forthcoming with Whiskey appreciation advice:-)
Very small, but so friendly and comfortable.
The Cinnamon Role warmer was fantastic!

Feisty Spirits is simply delightful. Amazing spirits made by spirited and good people. Unlike some other small «distilleries,» Feisty actually distills everything that they sell. The difference is a range of truly delicious and unique bourbons, brandies, and more. Check them out – you won’t be disappointed!

I’ve never left a Unilocal review before in my life, but I borrowed my wife’s account so I could.
Feisty Spirits has some of the best whiskey I’ve ever had, along with some truly creative stuff (unlike Fireball or cheap flavored moonshine, which have shaken my faith in both frat boys and commercial distilling).
However, it’s their customer service that made them memorable. We walked in on a quiet night with ten minutes till closing just on a whim. Jaime, the gentlemen behind the bar, talked with us and did tastings for us well after they had officially closed. I learned a lot of things and walked out with a bottle of Red, White, and Blue Bourbon – an organic bourbon that may be the best I’ve ever had.
I’m glad I don’t live in the area, because I’d live at this place. Until they threw me out, at least.

It’s a little small in the tasting room, but thats easily made up for by the big taste of all these unique whiskeys! Jamie (the owner) is like a mad scientist with his creations making a variety of rather delicious spirits! Highly recommend.

Whiskey connoisseurs will truly appreciate this place. David makes at least 30 different types of this stuff and they also have a cocktail list.
Don’t come in here expecting a feisty bar or ordering vodka cranberry, this is merican handcraft whiskey at its finest.
Only suggestion is to lower the price a bit because the .5 oz flight of 3 whiskeys cost $ 10 which is steep for 1 shot of alcohol.

Eh, it’s okay. I’m not a huge fan of whiskey, but we were on a bike tour and decided to stop. My friend and I shared the fruit brandy flight. It was pretty rough. The service was okay. She didn’t take the time to explain it to us, which detracts from the experience. But it was a good place to stop and try something different.
The tasting room is small. It felt a little cramped with our group.

Very knowledgable gentlemen! nice n smooth spirits. There are several to choose from to concoct your favorite beverages at home. Or if you like there are a few restaurants that feature Feisty around Fort Collins.
As a side note Feisty Spirits distillery will be featured this weekend in Denver at «The Source.“There will be events on Saturday and Sunday.

Hands down, my best Living Social discovery ever. I bought a deal for a distillery tour & 8-​spirit sampling, and lame as I sometimes am waited until the last minute to use it. According to the voucher rules I was supposed to have made a reservation for the tour (I didn’t), so when I walked in I was already apologizing and asking if my friend and I could just do the tasting.
However, the guy behind the bar (one of the owners) was pretty chill, said there was a tour that had just started so why don’t we just go back and join them. Sweet. For the tasting, somehow I had the impression that we would be tasting their eight spirits rather than eight of their spirits, i.e. they have many more than 8 spirits. In fact, choosing which spirits to taste might be a bit overwhelming if it weren’t for the fact that they are so willing to chat with you about your preferences and to help guide you through a tasting.
Their offerings range from «friendlier» fruit-​infused nectars and brandies to more challenging rye whiskeys and «elementals» — spirits distilled from single grains such as quinoa, millet, and so forth. If you have a chance, make sure to sample the queen’s share (the result of a 2^nd distilling of the «head» and «tail») side-​by-​side with it’s base spirit. The night I was there the Queen’s share came from the blue corn bourbon, and it was really interesting to see how different flavor notes developed in the two spirits.
I wouldn’t have known about the queen’s share had I not gone through the tour, and although now I’ve documented that gem in this review I’d encourage anyone with an appreciation for spirits to stop by for a tour and a tasting — who knows what gems you might pick up?

I heart this place soooo much! I’m a whiskey drinker and they have everything I could ever possibly want! Thanks to Mark for recommending this place!

First Distillery in Fort Collins and they have set the bar high for whomever will be #2!
I have been a whiskey drinker for over 25 years and have a pretty refined palate having enjoyed Blantons, Pappy Van Winkle and WhistlePig and other well known distillers.
I was pleasantly surprised from my first visit just how amazing the distilled products Feisty has created — Whiskey, Ryes, Bourbons and Brandy. Even more wonderful is the team behind this — David, Jamie, Alex and John; They welcome you in with open arms, a friendly greeting and a chance to sit down and drink some great products and learn about them, where the grains come from, how they are produced, etc. Be sure to get a tour of the production floor and see the still in action! Every visit is even better than the last.
I have friends that didn’t even like whiskey and now they are hooked on the Feisty!!! Go to the tasting room, give it a shot and meet a team passionate about the products they make and the lives they live!
Go Feisty and Go Big!!!

Awesome place. The tour was very informative and the whiskey was delicious. Definitely stop by if you are in the area, it will be worth it.
Quality people producing a quality product!

Go there. Have a flight. Talk to the people and learn how passionate they are about their distillery. Buy your favorite you won’t be disappointed.

Amazing place. The whiskey was excellent, both the traditional whiskeys and some of the more experimental kinds (quinoa, trifocal, millet, etc). The shining star was the staff though. The girl working the front was amazing and friendly, and the tour that the owner gives was my new favorite in FC. We were able to try whiskeys at difference stages of the process, from the beginning all the way up to where it was ready to be bottled. In addition, the owner sat around with us for a bit talking about whiskey. He is a very passionate, and knowledgeable person and I plan on going back here more often than my liver would prefer. You absolutely must check this place out.

Cheap flights and awesome service. Loved this place! We found it while we were on a bike tour, and the staff was really friendly. They gave us a tour of the place, let us taste some of their test whiskeys and walked us through the process. As the first distillery in Ft. Collins, we were really impressed.
I would encourage anyone in the area to check them out and help support a local business!
