Tintypes at the Gargoyles Private Party for Laws Whiskey House

Event Spotlight: Gargoyles Private Party

The Gargoyles Private Party at Laws Whiskey House was a night to remember — blending rich Colorado whiskey culture with the timeless art of tintype photography. Guests mingled, celebrated a special bourbon release, and enjoyed custom tintype portraits that captured the spirit of the evening in striking, one-of-a-kind keepsakes.

Tintype photography, with its historic, handcrafted process, is the perfect pairing for a distillery event. The tactile, analog nature of tintypes mirrors the craft of artisanal whiskey — slow, deliberate, and deeply personal. These images become treasured mementos for guests long after the last sip is gone.

About the Gargoyle Series

Part of what makes this event truly unique is its connection to the Gargoyle Series — an experimental lineup from Laws Whiskey House that highlights the distillers’ creativity beyond their core whiskeys. The Gargoyle Series includes non-whiskey spirits, liqueurs, and innovative distillations developed by the Laws team. These limited, imaginative spirits showcase the distillery’s passion for exploration and flavor education, often using heirloom grains and unconventional processes to push boundaries and delight adventurous palates.

History of Laws Whiskey House

Founded in 2011, Laws Whiskey House is a grain-to-glass distillery in Denver dedicated to crafting bold, terroir-driven spirits. Each whiskey reflects the unique flavors of heirloom grains grown on family farms in Colorado. At Laws, there are “no shortcuts” — every batch is milled, cooked, fermented, distilled, and aged on-site. This hands-on approach results in whiskeys with distinct character and a true taste of place.

Laws has also expanded its guest experience with the Whiskey Sanctuary — a stunning tasting room and cocktail lounge featuring a whiskey church, breathtaking views, and an elevated bar program perfect for savoring flights, pours, or cocktails.

What Makes Laws Whiskey House Stand Out

• Terroir-Driven Craft: Using heirloom grains and Colorado water to shape unique whiskey flavors.
• Whiskey Sanctuary Experience: A two-story tasting space with a whiskey church and panoramic mountain views.
• Innovation Beyond Bourbon: Experimental spirits like the Gargoyle Series and unique finishes. (See above)
• Engaging Tours & Events: Distillery tours, private events, seasonal parties, and new releases keep enthusiasts coming back.

Upcoming Releases & Special Bottlings

Laws regularly introduces limited and inventive releases. Recent highlights include expressions from the ORIGINS Series and distinctive bottles like the “Super Wheater,” a high-wheat bourbon that celebrates Colorado terroir and craft heritage.

Upcoming releases often debut at events like the Gargoyles Party and other seasonal gatherings, offering collectors and whiskey lovers first access to rare and exciting spirits.
