📍 In this Bootleg Episode of Whiskey Wanderlust, we sit down with Al Laws, the founder of Laws Whiskey House, for an unexpected, no-holds-barred conversation about the creation of their new tasting room—the Whiskey Sanctuary. 🥃

What started as a quick chat turned into a 40-minute deep dive into the vision, challenges, and whiskey philosophy that makes Laws one of Colorado’s most respected distilleries.

On This Episode:

🔹 How five years of permitting and two years of construction turned into one of Denver’s most impressive whiskey destinations.

🔹 The custom 250-pound staircase that caused months of delays (and why it was worth it).

🔹 The CU Athletics whiskey collaborations—including Ralphie’s Reserve and Black & Gold Bourbon.

🔹 The "No Shortcuts" philosophy—why Laws refuses to rush aging or source whiskey.

🔹 The evolution of Laws' whiskey blending process, from Cognac finishes to their custom French blending tank.
