Stranahan’s Distillery

Stranahan’s Col­orado Whiskey is a 94 proof, small-batch whiskey dis­tilled in Den­ver, Col­orado. Stranahan’s Col­orado Whiskey is the first microdis­tillery mak­ing whiskey in Col­orado and the Rocky Moun­tains as well as one of the first in the coun­try. Stranahan’s Col­orado Whiskey is the first of a new cat­e­gory known as “Rocky Moun­tain Straight Whiskey”

The whiskey is made from a unique four-barley fer­mented wash that con­sists of car­bon fil­tered Rocky Moun­tain water and west­ern bar­ley that is grown in the North­ern Rock­ies. The wash is dis­tilled in a Ven­dome Cop­per custom-made pot/still and then aged in 52.8 gal­lon heav­ily charred, Amer­i­can white oak whiskey bar­rels for a min­i­mum of two years. 10 bar­rels are com­bined to make each batch.

Stranahan’s is named after minor­ity owner, edu­ca­tor and activist George Strana­han, who also owns the Fly­ing Dog Brew­ery for­merly of Den­ver, cur­rently located in Maryland.
