Stranahan’s Mountain Angel 14 Year American Single Malt Whiskey

Process & Profile
Stranahan’s Mountain Angel 14 Year American Single Malt Whiskey follows a three-cask journey across a full 14 years. It begins with 10 years in new charred American white oak, moves into Cognac casks for three years and three months, then receives a nine-month finish in Tokaji wine casks from Hungary.
Made from 100% malted barley and crafted from grain to bottle at Stranahan’s Denver distillery, the whiskey matures a mile above sea level. Colorado’s high-altitude environment shapes the barrels’ development and evaporation over that extended time. Founded in 2004, Stranahan’s has made American single malt the focus of its whiskey-making, with Mountain Angel exploring the range’s longest maturations.
The 14-year expression was introduced in 2026 under Head Blender Justin Aden. After its final Tokaji-cask stage, the whiskey is cut with Eldorado spring water from the Colorado Rocky Mountains and bottled at 47.3% ABV, or 94.6 proof. The three maturation periods together make up its 14-year age statement.

How to Enjoy
Pour a small measure into a tulip-shaped whiskey glass and allow it a little time in the glass before tasting. Compare a second pour with a few drops of water to explore how dilution changes the aroma and texture.
A large ice cube is another option if you prefer a chilled pour. Suggested pairings include roasted almonds, aged Gouda or a small square of dark chocolate; keep the portions modest so the whiskey remains the focus.
