ABOUT US
Proudly Distilling the Spirit of Colorado
Since 2018
There’s an incredible spirit that runs through the state of Colorado. You’ll find it on the top of mountains, deep in river valleys, across the cities and within all of the amazing citizens who call Colorado home. We call it the spirit of adventure. It’s a spirit that not only inspires us, but fuels our passions each and every day. And if there’s one thing we’re as passionate about as Colorado adventures, it’s a fine liquor in our glass. Our award-winning and approachable premium spirits are handcrafted to be sipped and enjoyed on any adventure.
Named after a lost, but not forgotten, mining town in southern Colorado and the 19th century ‘Ironton Addition’ of Denver that would become known as RiNo Arts District today, Ironton Distillery holds true to our industrial, creative, and adventurous roots.
We’re proud to offer a place for adventure, creativity, good times, and, of course, great spirits.
OUR LEADERS
We’re proud of our female leadership team.
KALLYN ROMERO
Co-Founder
Kallyn is passionate about craftsmanship, quality, art and design. She brings those passions into every aspect of the Ironton Distillery experience, from the venue to the taproom and the gallery to the outdoor spaces.
As a Colorado native, Kallyn is an outdoor enthusiast and has seen Denver’s food and beverage scene expand into the destination it is today. Kallyn also continues her family’s legacy of starting new businesses, as an entrepreneurial spirit runs in her genes.
LAURA WALTERS
Head Distiller
While her friends were partying in college, Laura was learning how to produce world-class wine at Oregon State’s celebrated Fermentation Science program. It’s a dedication that’s paid off with tenures at respected wineries in Oregon, Washington and New Zealand. Several years ago, Laura’s knowledge in the industry landed her a job at Stranahan’s, where her love for wine moved into whiskey and distilling.
Laura is an expert in crafting high-quality spirits and brings her skills and knowledge into every spirit Ironton distills. And when she’s not distilling, you can often find her enjoying live music, great food and playing with her dog across the city.
The Distillery Dogs
The team who’s really behind the show. Each has four legs. Say hello to Ludo and Gus.
Your pups are invited to Denver’s Best Patio for Pets, too! Keep ‘em on a leash and pick up a bag of Ironton’s homemade Spent Grain Dog Treats while you’re here.
