I have tried several Colorado whiskeys this year with varying degrees of success, and I really want to like them. 291, two versions of Breckenridge, Stranahan's gold label, Laws, some small distillery in Wheat Ridge (and Marble with a great coffee liqueur). The water is something special, the altitude seems to do something special as well. With 291, the Aspen staves are amazing. I love 291 and Stranahan's. Breckenridge and Laws are middle of the pack. Leopold lags behind IMHO. There's something "grainy" about it, like Grape Nuts cereal. There's better choices out there, like 291. Or even a bottle of OF 1910 or 1921.
