Still Cellars

Still Cellars is a distillery housed in an off-beat industrial area of Longmont, Colorado. Longmont is not even a very hip place, so when suggested to me by a blog reader(thank you Janel!) I took advantage to setup an evening out at Still Cellars. Considering how much Kerri enjoys her booze it was an easy win on the brownie-points, but I have to admit my own excitement about it too.

We entered through the nondescript front door to a darkened room with only a bar, a piano, and three tables which were already occupied by other patrons. Unsure how to proceed we sauntered over to the corner of the bar and ordered the “taste the spirits” sampler. This would give us both a sip of each of the five products made from scratch in house by the two owners (Jason and Sadye). Now, I am no connoisseur of alcohol – my beer of choice was PBR or Coors Light until recently when I joined the dark side; Mmm Guinness – but even I could taste something unique in the Vodka and even more so in their Whiskey. I won’t try to impress anyone with  talk of “woodsiness” or “finish”, but this casual drinker may have just found himself a whiskey he can enjoy straight-up around a camp fire.

Before leaving Kerri wanted to try a cocktail so we shared a Créme d’Orange which tasted just like my favorite Popsicle flavor (Dreamsicle,  orange and cream). I guess I like my drinks on the girly side, but I was one happy dude with the atmosphere and the drinks at Still Cellars. We agreed that we will make a return visit next week before leaving Longmont.
