The Block Distilling Co.

Everything feels right when you visit the tasting room at this RiNo distillery. That’s because it’s focused on doing things the right way, from how it sources ingredients and crafts its spirits to its sustainability practices and commitment to giving back through a partnership with Nathaniel Rateliff’s nonprofit, the Marigold Project. The bartenders know how to have fun with a cocktail, whether you’re sipping a gin-based concoction with spiked miso, mushrooms and green tea, or a whiskey libation flavored with Creole bitters.
