Stranahan’s Mountain Angel 14 Year is the distillery’s oldest whiskey release, matured for fourteen years in new charred American oak at an elevation of 5,280 feet. Colorado’s high-altitude climate allows a substantial portion of each barrel to evaporate as the angel’s share, leaving a smaller yield with greater depth and concentration.

Following this extended maturation, the American single malt is finished in rare Hungarian Tokaji wine casks, adding honeyed richness and dried orchard fruit to its mature character. These casks previously held the celebrated dessert wine from Hungary’s historic Tokaj region, where noble rot concentrates the grapes’ natural sugars and flavors.

Typically crafted from Hungarian oak, Tokaji barrels offer a tight grain and delicate tannin structure that complement the whiskey’s long maturation in American oak. The result is a refined American single malt shaped by fourteen Colorado winters and a distinctive Hungarian wine cask finish.
