Stranahan’s American Single Malt Whiskey announced the release of the oldest Colorado Bottled-in-Bond whiskey ever. 

The rare 11-year-old American Single Malt is Stranahan’s first-ever Bottled-in-Bond expression and commemorates both Colorado’s 150th and America’s 250th anniversaries. Available nationally, the limited release celebrates the pioneering spirit, craftsmanship, and independence that helped shape both the nation and the state the brand calls home. Each bottle is presented in a commemorative gift box created exclusively for the release and honors Colorado’s role in the broader American story while showcasing the distinct character that has defined Stranahan’s since its founding. 

Crafted in the spirit of the 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Act, this Stranahan’s American Single Malt Whiskey: Bottled-in-Bond upholds one of whiskey’s most exacting standards – distilled in a single season, aged in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at precisely 100 proof.

“Bottled-in-Bond has always stood for transparency, integrity, and craftsmanship.  For us, it means showing exactly what authentic Colorado whiskey is at its best,” Stranahan’s Head Blender Justin Aden said in a news release. “This release is as honest and hands-on as it gets – one grain, one distilling season, distilled, aged, and bottled entirely here in Denver. Our mile-high climate does something special to our whiskey over time, pulling out a refined character and depth you can’t replicate anywhere else. After 11 years of maturation, it’s a whiskey that’s unmistakably Stranahan’s, which means unmistakably Colorado, while honoring the traditions that set the standards for American whiskey.”

The release comes amid a summer-long celebration of Colorado’s 150th anniversary and the pioneering spirit that continues to shape the state today. Earlier this summer, Stranahan’s launched “Colorado 150: The Pioneers,” recognizing trailblazers across food, arts, outdoor recreation, conservation, sports, hospitality, business, and community leadership – from historic figures who helped build Colorado to modern-day originals carrying that legacy forward.

Like the “Colorado 150: The Pioneers” campaign itself, Bottled-in-Bond connects heritage and progress, pairing one of American whiskey’s oldest quality standards with one of its newest officially recognized categories, American single malt. The result is a whiskey that honors the pioneers of Colorado’s past while raising a glass to the future of the state, American single malt and American whiskey more broadly.

Stranahan’s American Single Malt Whiskey: Bottled-in-Bond is now available for a suggested retail price of $159.99 at its Denver Distillery, Stranahan’s Whiskey Lodge in Aspen, at select retailers in Colorado, California, Texas, and Florida, as well as nationally on www.Stranahans.com later this year.

On Saturday, August 1, Colorado Day attendees will be among the first to have the chance to purchase Stranahan’s Bottled-in-Bond. Bottles will be available beginning at 12PM at the Denver Distillery while supplies last. Guests participating in Colorado Day tours are guaranteed access to purchase up to three bottles.
