Only a dozen barrels of whiskey are produced from this family distillery each
week - and they're damn good. Using water from the Rockies, Colorado barley and
white-oak barrels, it's a rare taste of quality over quantity. Short tours of the facility are
available, though limited space means it's best to sign up online.

Platte St; adult/child $4/2; departures noon-3:30pm Fri-Sun; 6,
10, 28, 32, 44 RTD)
Ride the historic Platte Valley Trolley, which trundles along its tracks from
the REI store south towards the football stadium. To be honest the sights aren't much -
mostly the same stuff you see in a short walk around the area - but the stories from the
history-buff staff are enlightening.
