Stranahan's Blue Peak is named after a 13,000 foot peak in Aspen, Colorado. The Colorado single malt is first aged for 4 years in 53-gallon new, charred American oak (char #3) in the high altitude of its Denver warehouses. Then the whiskey is further aged in foeders (large oak barrels) which are made from new American oak.

Here the whiskey mingles with other single malt for several months before a portion is removed. The foeders are never emptied creating a solera system. This is a permanent addition to the portfolio and is available as of October 2020.

Tasting Notes

"The aroma displays a little apricot along with some honey and toasted oak. As you taste, the single malt shows a medium body with some apples, vanilla, and herbal flavors along with more toasted oak and barrel spices. Further nosings reveal a touch of walnuts as well. The finish of the single malt is of moderate length and at this proof it's pretty easy to drink as is. This is a solid addition to the portfolio and a nice departure from sherry finishes in general.
