Overview
Stranahan's American single malt whiskey is described on its official site as Colorado's first legal whiskey distillery since Prohibition, handcrafted from grain to glass in Denver, Colorado. The story began in 1998 when volunteer firefighter Jess Graber responded to a barn fire belonging to Woody Creek local George Stranahan, a long-time brewery owner and whiskey connoisseur; the two discovered a shared passion for the Colorado outdoors and fine whiskey, and Stranahan's Whiskey was born. Created and founded in 2004, the brand released its first Original bottle in 2006. Its whiskey is made from four ingredients: 100% malted barley, yeast, Rocky Mountain water, and time in the barrel. The site states Stranahan's may be the top selling American single malt whiskey while remaining dedicated to the same small batch process used since day one.
History
The story of Stranahan's started when volunteer firefighter Jess Graber responded to a neighbor's barn fire in 1998. The barn he made an effort to save belonged to Woody Creek local George Stranahan, a long-time brewery owner and whiskey connoisseur. When the fire settled, the two discovered a shared passion for the Colorado outdoors and a good pour of fine whiskey, and from this relationship Stranahan's Whiskey was born. The two developed a recipe for a distinctively smooth and flavorful American single malt whiskey using their local mountain surroundings to their advantage, releasing the first Original bottle in 2006. Created and founded in 2004, Stranahan's is described as Colorado's first Rocky Mountain Single Malt and Colorado's first legal whiskey distillery since Prohibition, handcrafted from grain to glass in Denver, Colorado.
