Stranahan, Colorado, USA, was born of fire…and friendship. Jesse Graber, a volunteer fire fighter, saved the barn of local brewer George Stranahan. Both soon discovered that they had a taste for (good) whiskey, and they decided to start what has become one of America’s best selling whiskey.
All Stranahans are small-batch produced, which means that there might be some small variations in taste from batch to bacth. They are made from 100% malted barley, a rare fact for American whiskey, and they use, of course, spring water from the Rocky Moutains.
