Stranahan’s first-ever Bottled-in-Bond release is the oldest Colorado Bottled-in-Bond whiskey ever released — a tribute to Colorado’s 150th and America’s 250th, made exactly the way the law intended: distilled in a single season, aged in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at precisely 100 proof.

PROCESS & PROFILE
Bottled-in-Bond is one of American whiskey’s oldest quality standards: a single distillery, a single distilling, at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottling at exactly 100 proof. It’s the mark the U.S. government created in 1897 to prove a whiskey was exactly what it claimed to be, at a time when most weren’t.

Ours spent eleven years earning it. We distilled it from 100% malted barley in a single season, January to June 2015, then let it mature in new American white oak with a level 3 char, absorbing the mile-high climate that makes Stranahan’s, Stranahan’s. It’s the same rigor that has shaped this whiskey from the beginning, applied to the country’s original consumer-protection promise.

The release anchors a summer-long celebration of Colorado’s 150th anniversary and America’s 250th, and it pairs one of whiskey’s oldest standards with one of its newest official categories: American Single Malt. From the distillery that leads it — the #1 and most awarded American Single Malt in the country.
