Like their Scottish counterparts, Stranahan’s makes all of their whiskey with 100% malted barley (and Rocky Mountain spring water). Then, like many of their American whiskey brethren, they age their whiskey in charred new oak barrels. Surdyk’s private barrel of Stranahan’s cask strength version dials the rich maple and toffee flavors up to 11. Bottled at a robust 109 proof, this is a decadently delicious dram that should appeal to Scotch and bourbon drinkers alike.
