A beautiful American Single Malt, aged Solera-style.

Sometimes great things can happen when disaster strikes. Back in 1994 a small fire broke out in a barn that belonged to George Stranahan, a beer brewer from outside of Denver. The one who came to help was Jess Graber a volunteer firefighter that not only saved the day but the two soon discovered that they share the same passion, love for outdoors and good ol’ fine Whiskey. It didn’t just stay at talk and soon after the first legal distillery in Colorado since prohibition was opened.

Taking the mountain surrounding to their advantage they not only use the pure water coming down from snowy peaks but also the Rocky Mountain Barley that delivers the smooth flavor on which they are especially proud.

Stranahan's Blue Peak Colorado Single Malt Whiskey got its name from the 13-thousand-foot peak in Aspen. The dram was inspired by the beautiful alpine scenery of the Rocky Mountains. It was aged for 4 years in new American oak casks with a #3 char before it was finished Solera-style. This essentially means that the aged Blue Peak is moved into new American oak foeders for several months. Then, some of it (Never all of it!) is cut to proof with Rocky Mountain water and chill filtered. New Whiskey is added to the oak foeders and the whole thing is repeated. This is the beauty of the Solera process: it enables a continuous aging and marrying process.

is the fermentation process by which a percentage of a previous fermentation is added to a new batch as a "starter" to get the fermentation going and maintain a level of consistency from batch to batch. A sweet mash means that only fresh yeast is added to a new batch to start fermentation.
The origins of Stranahan's is quite a story. In 1998, Graber, a volunteer firefighter, met Stranahan --the founder and owner of Flying Dog Brewery-- while fighting a fire at Stranahan's barn. After striking up a conversation about Whiskey, they decided to start a business together, and that is how Stranahan's was born.
Corn Whiskey is a commercial product that must contain at least 80% corn, be distilled at less than 80% ABV (160 proof), and, if wood-aged, may be aged in either used or new un-charred barrels.
Rye Whiskey is made from mash that is at least 51 percent rye. The grain gives Rye Whiskey its spicy, sometimes peppery, and bitter flavor. It was a big seller before Prohibition, and after decades in obscurity, it’s fashionable again. Fun fact: George Washington distilled Rye Whiskey at Mount Vernon.
An un-aged American Whisky is often called “white dog.”Sour Mash is the fermentation process by which a percentage of a previous fermentation is added to a new batch as a "starter" to get the fermentation going and maintain a level of consistency from batch to batch. A sweet mash means that only fresh yeast is added to a new batch to start fermentation.
George Washington was a man of many talents being both a military braniac and the First President of the United States. Interestingly, he also became the largest Whiskey producer in the United States after leaving the politics.
