The sweetness reminded me of rock candy, but was not cloying or overpowering. The orange is bright, the cherry doesn’t taste artificial. I usually find they are too sweet or the balance of flavors is off from what I’d expect from the cocktail they are replicating. Impressions: Ok, this is absolutely delicious! I’m often not a huge fan of ready-made cocktails. No prep is required in mixing up the cocktail, just add ice! The drink is 40% ABV and can be ordered online for $30. Tasting Notes: Mile High Spirits Fireside Old Fashionedĭetails: The Fireside Old Fashioned is a bottled cocktail featuring Mile High Spirits Fireside bourbon, natural cherry flavoring, fresh orange peels, and angostura bitters. Their “tasting room” is a bigger space with live music Thursdays through Sundays and a large dance floor. Their “barrel room” is a private event space surrounded by barrels of aging whiskey. Mile High Spirits overs several experiences for those in the Denver area to experience their products. These bottles would pop out at me at liquor stores and are adding flare to my liquor cabinet. I’m more used to seeing this type of art on wine bottles, but I think it really works here. The bottles of all their spirits and cocktails have paintings on them, all done in a cohesive style. Sometimes “relatable” copy like this can come across as over the top and fake, but it actually made me chuckle a few times, which surprised me. The marketing script on the back backs of bottles and their website is very conversational without jargon that might alienate someone unfamiliar with whiskey. The distillery clearly wants to make themselves accessible to the casual drinker through their branding in addition to their pricing.
