The story of Stranahan’s started when volunteer firefighter Jess Graber responded to a neighbor’s barn fire in 1998. The barn he made an effort to save belonged to Woody Creek local George Stranahan, a long-time brewery owner, and whiskey connoisseur. When the fire settled, the two discovered a shared passion for a good pour of fine whiskey. From this relationship, Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey was born. Stranahan’s Colorado whiskey is Colorado’s first legal whiskey distillery since Prohibition and uses only the finest 4 ingredients: 100% malted barley, yeast, Rocky Mountain water, and time in the barrel.
