Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey recently introduced Stranahan’s Blue Peak. The new American single malt from the Denver distillery is perfect for fall cocktail season.
Named for a 13-thousand-foot peak in Aspen, Blue Peak is the first line extension since 2017. The single malt whiskey is hand-crafted single malt at high altitude and aged for 4 years via the Solera process.
As a part of Solera, the mature liquid is transferred into a new American oak vessel, known as a foeder for several months. Once fully married in the foeder, a portion of the mature whiskey is taken to be cut to proof with pristine Rocky Mountain water and chill filtered. Meanwhile, newly harvested single malt whiskey is added to the remnants to marry. Since the foeder is never fully emptied, the Solera process allows for continuous marriage, maturation, and flavor development in the whiskey it holds. This extended finishing time amplifies the dark hue, silky body and complexity of the final whiskey.
Blue Peak is chill filtered, bottled at 43% ABV and available nationwide to purchase for $42.99.
