The Mile High Spirits Ultimate Barrel Pick Experience

Your whiskey. Your playlist. One dang good cause. An exclusive Mile High Spirits experience for the auction winner and three guests, hosted by the Mile High Spirits Master Distiller and Master Blender, alongside local whiskey influencer and Mt. Carmel team member BourbonBoot.

The winning bidder and their friends will get a rare opportunity to go behind the scenes at a working Denver distillery, taste exceptional Colorado whiskey, and help select the official Mt. Carmel charity barrel that will be released through Luxe Liquor. But this won't be your average whiskey tasting. We'd love to make it a memorable evening that combines a hands-on barrel selection with some of the best parts of the Mile High Spirits tasting room and Hi-Fi Lounge.

The Experience:
• Welcome to Mile High: Kick things off with a welcome whiskey or handcrafted cocktail while meeting the Mile High Spirits team and learning about the special charity release.
• Behind-the-Scenes Distillery Tour: Get an insider's look at how Mile High Spirits crafts its whiskey using Colorado grains, Rocky Mountain water, and the unique conditions that make Colorado aging so interesting.
• Become a Master Blender for the Night: Working alongside the Master Distiller and Master Blender, guests will taste through three specially selected bourbon barrels. They'll learn what makes each barrel unique, compare tasting notes, and ultimately help choose the official Mt. Carmel charity barrel.
• A Taste of the Secret Stash: Enjoy a guided tasting of rare, limited, and unreleased Mile High Spirits products, including some special pours that aren't typically available to the public.
• Whiskey & Wax - The Afterparty: After selecting the barrel, head to the Mile High Spirits Hi-Fi Lounge for a little whiskey-fueled celebration. Bring your favorite vinyl records, take over the soundtrack, enjoy a couple of handcrafted cocktails, snack on some bites, and hang out with your crew. Maybe even throw a few darts.
• Take Home Your Handpicked Whiskey: Once the selected charity barrel is bottled and released, the auction winner will receive six bottles from the barrel they helped select.

Auction Package Includes:
• Exclusive private experience for four guests
• Welcome whiskey or cocktail
• Behind-the-scenes distillery tour
• Guided three-barrel selection with the Master Distiller and Master Blender
• Rare and unreleased spirits tasting
• Hi-Fi Lounge experience with guests' favorite vinyl records
• One to two additional cocktails per guest and light snacks
• Six bottles from the selected charity barrel upon release to the winner

The date will be coordinated with the auction winner and Mile High Spirits team.

Why This Experience Is Special:
This is more than a private tasting. It's a chance to help create a whiskey release that directly supports active-duty service members, veterans, and their families. The winning bidder gets to be part of the selection process, enjoy a memorable night with friends, and later see their handpicked barrel available at Luxe Liquor. Knowing every bottle sold contributes to Mt. Carmel's mission.

Great whiskey, great memories, and a lasting impact.
