Stranahan's Oloroso Sherry barrels are procured from the Andalucia region of southwestern Spain, known to many oenophiles as the Sherry Triangle and one of the world’s most coveted wine regions. The barrels have aged sherry wine for over 40 years, leaving behind a depth of flavor soaked into the ancient oak staves — the resulting whiskey bursts with rich flavors of vanilla, caramel, dark chocolate, and oak. The use of sherry casks in cask finishing has been a popular practice throughout Europe for centuries, and Stranahan’s Sherry Cask is an American approach to this tradition.

47% BV / 94 Proof.

750 ML

"Firing on all cylinders as immensely pleasing scents of cornmeal, clove, cinnamon, baked peach, and new leather merge into a supple, even stately bouquet... Highest Recommendation "

About the Producer

Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey is Colorado’s first legal whiskey distillery since Prohibition. This Rocky Mountain Single Malt is handcrafted from grain to glass in Denver, Colorado. Using only the finest resources, our whiskey is made from 4 ingredients: 100% malted barley, yeast, Rocky Mountain water, and time in the barrel.

The story of Stranahan’s started when volunteer firefighter Jess Graber responded to a neighbor’s barn fire in 1998. He never imagined that any good would come of it. But the barn he tried 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.

From this relationship, Stranahan’s Colorado 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 and releasing the first original bottle in 2006. Created and founded in 2004, Stranahan’s Colorado whiskey is Colorado’s first Rocky Mountain Single Malt, the pioneer and leader of American Single Malt.
