George Stranahan, artist, rebel and founder of Flying Dog Brewery has now ventured into the tasty world of whiskey. When his barn burnt down over seven years ago one of the firefighters helping douse the flames was Jess Aspen, a fellow lover of spirits. As the two discovered their shared passion for alcoholic beverages the idea was born to create a whiskey distilled in the beautiful landscape of Colorado. Now available, Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey is a small batch distillery located in Denver. Availability is limited, but sure to be coming to your area soon.

I think this is the one my brother in Boulder was telling me about. A bit pricey right now but should wander in line with production.
Can’t wait to try it…love everything Colorado!

I haven’t acquired a taste for whiskey yet, but I didn’t think I liked beer until JJ turned me on to the great ones.
I am always game to give it a try.

Stranahans was featured on the History Channel’s special about whisky. After it is bottled, friends volunteer to hand-paste the labels on the bottles. Whisky Mag, Malt Advocate Mag and the Whiskey Life magazine all give it two thumbs up. I’m looking to get my hand on a bottle soon.

Is this a whiskey? Scotch Whiskey? I don’t really like whiskey all that much, but I did like Johnny Walker Blue. JW Red I did not.
