Nose:

of malt and hazelnuts gives over to an oily

Palate:

full of smooth pineapple jam, toast and a hint of smoke. The finish is typically American in its sweetness, with a bright, slightly acidic twist and a whisper of buttery oak.

I give Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey a score of 86 points.

Resting quietly on top of a bottle of whiskey is a large metal jigger. ” Have a little,” it seems to say, “and be generous.” The whiskey itself is Stranahan’s, an American single malt style out of Colorado. This state is famously known for its generosity – for its smiling, no-nonsense, everybody is somebody way.
