Stranahan’s Blue Peak Colorado Single Malt Whiskey is a Whiskey from the Stranahan's Whiskey brand hailing from America.

What is Stranahan’s Blue Peak Colorado Single Malt Whiskey?

Stranahan's Blue Peak Colorado Single Malt Whiskey offers a unique twist on American whiskey by combining Scottish-style malting techniques with high-altitude aging in the Rocky Mountains. Interestingly, this whiskey undergoes a special solera process, where a portion of aged whiskey is continuously blended with younger spirits, creating a complex flavor profile that evolves with each batch while maintaining consistency.

Why do we love Stranahan’s Blue Peak Colorado Single Malt Whiskey?

Cocktail enthusiasts should embrace Stranahan's Blue Peak Colorado Single Malt Whiskey for its distinctive Rocky Mountain character and innovative solera aging process. This unique whiskey combines the robust flavors of 100% malted barley with the smoothness imparted by its time in new American oak barrels, creating a spirit that stands out from traditional single malts and offers bartenders a versatile, homegrown American option for crafting elevated cocktails.

How do you drink Stranahan’s Blue Peak Colorado Single Malt Whiskey?

Stranahan's Blue Peak Colorado Single Malt Whiskey shines when sipped neat or with a splash of water to open up its complex flavors, though it also makes an excellent base for whiskey-forward cocktails. This versatile spirit is equally enjoyable on a crisp autumn evening paired with hearty, smoky barbecue or during a cozy winter night alongside rich, chocolate desserts.

Nose: Ripe apple, vanilla bean, and toasted oak greet the senses. A subtle honey sweetness emerges, accompanied by hints of dried apricot and cinnamon.

Palate: Smooth and creamy with flavors of caramel, butterscotch, and baked pear. Nutmeg and allspice add warmth, while a touch of dark chocolate provides depth. The malted barley backbone shines through with notes of freshly baked bread.

Finish: Medium-long with lingering warmth. Gentle oak tannins balance residual sweetness. Fading notes of toffee, dried fruit, and a whisper of pipe tobacco round out the experience.

Stranahan's Blue Peak Colorado Single Malt Whiskey is crafted using a unique "solera" aging process, where whiskies of different ages are blended and aged together in new American oak barrels. This method, traditionally used for sherry production, allows the distillery to create a consistently complex flavor profile by marrying younger and older spirits, resulting in a whiskey with depth beyond its years.

  • Stranahan's Blue Peak is aged using a unique "solera" process, traditionally associated with sherry production. This involves blending whiskeys of different ages, with a portion of the oldest whiskey always remaining in the vat, creating a complex flavor profile that evolves over time.
  • The whiskey is named after Blue Peak, a 13,000-foot mountain in Colorado, and uses rocky mountain water in its production. This high-altitude water source contributes to the whiskey's distinct character and purity.
  • Unlike most American whiskeys, Stranahan's Blue Peak is made from 100% malted barley, similar to Scotch. However, it uses a proprietary strain of yeast typically found in craft beer production, resulting in unique fruity and floral notes not commonly found in traditional single malts.

      All right, look. . . .

      It's good. I don't know whiskeys but this was good enough for a tenderfoot like me to know quality. It passes the old fashion, the stand alone, and cocktail tests. A slightly odd bottling (the back has a slant to it) and the cork was a little dry. However, all in all I will buy this again at some point.

      It's strong without being too overpowering (though if kick is not your preference, I probably would avoid or use it in mixers). There's a clarity in the taste that I loved and reminded me of my time in the Colorado mountains. Sipping mountain air, if I had to put it into words.

      I hope someone finds this helpful and will be bold enough to give their own words to this wonderful draught.
