6 Reasons Why Whiskey Lovers Should Head To Stranahans Whiskey Peak

Stranahan’s American Single Malt Whiskey is coming to Austin this May, bringing everything you need for an unforgettable evening with like-minded whiskey lovers. Here’s everything you need to know about the complex tipple, and why we’d recommend you book this event now.

Experience an American original

Stranahan’s American Single Malt Whiskey was founded in 2002 as the first modern craft distillery in Colorado since Prohibition – and one of the very first present-day craft whiskey distillers in the entire country. Stranahan’s instantly became a sensation for its single malt whiskey. So no, it’s not Scotch – this is American single malt whiskey, with all the character and flavor you’d expect. There are thousands of craft whiskey producers in the US right now, but few have Stranahan’s pedigree.

Sample the Stranahan’s line-up

Stranahan’s American Single Malt Whiskey has been made in Denver, Colorado, for over 10 years

Taste the Rocky Mountains

Stranahan’s defines its malts as Rocky Mountain whiskey, and with good reason. The distillery is based in Denver, Colorado, and uses Rocky Mountain snowmelt in the process. That pure, high-altitude water ensures each small batch of whiskey offers a nuanced taste.

Experience whiskey in a unique setting

It’s one thing to taste whiskey. It’s another thing to experience it. Stranahan’s will showcase three of its whiskeys in separate and distinctive environments to match their flavor profiles, helping you appreciate the complexities of each variety and the processes behind single malts. There will be a live performance by David Ramirez and plenty of photo-worthy exhibits and other fun activities. Also keep your eyes peeled for the ice sculpture representing the whiskeys’ different tasting notes.
