Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey (Discontinued)

Ok, so this one is a unique, odd one for sure, but not necessary in a bad way. N: ripe fruity notes are front forward along with a malty cereal granola that’s almost like grape nuts cereal. I’d swear there was rye in this even though there isn’t, so that’s a neat trick in this one. Orange zest and a hint of vanilla in the background, touch of cherry and dried fruits as well. Some spice notes like allspice or cinnamon. Middle of the road complexity, likely could benefit from a little more aging or a nice finishing barrel. T: definitely malty and a rye-like spice to it on the frontside, cereal grains, woody oaky notes, fruity vanilla notes eventually pop through but quickly leave in the finish with a return of a white peppery heat, some herbal notes on the finish but not strong, light to medium ashy or smokiness as well. Overall, this is definitely a scotch style meets a heavy American distilling influence for sure. I prefer more of an actual scotch vs this. But the only thing I can say is give it a try. You might like it, you might think it’s just ok. Definitely has no category that it can fall in.

Most of the traditional scotch notes, no spikes and less smoky. Great in a Penicillin cocktail!

Kind of odd, yet in a boring way. It's not bad, but it's not anything i would go seeking out, despite a slightly unique overall profile.

White grape and smoke on the nose. Mildly sweet honey, pear, and smoke on the palate. I liked it more than I thought I would.

Nose: malt, funk Palate: bread, malt, banana Finish: funky Tastes very malty and young but not bad.
