Full-bodied and viscous, the warmth of alcohol and bold characteristics are present in the mouth. Oak, wood-spice and vanilla, orange peel, sweet honey, and malty grains. At the finish, the sweetness is replaced by a dryness with the wood-smoke coming to the fore. When volunteer firefighter Jess Graber responded to a neighbor's barn fire down the road, he never imagined what would come of it. The barn Jess made as effort to save belonged to Woody Creek local George Stranahan, a long time brewery owner and whiskey connoisseur. The two discovered a shared passion for the Colorado outdoors and a proper pour of fine whiskey. From this relationship Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey was born. Rated 95 Points Lisa's Staff.
