This Distillery Exclusive release from Stranahan's features an American single malt whisky which was initially aged in virgin American oak barrels (#3 char). Then the whiskey was transferred into Bordeaux and pinot noir wine barrels for an additional three years. Rocky Mountain water from Eldorado Springs was used to cut the whiskey to proof (45% ABV) and it was bottled without chill-filtration. Available at the distillery beginning June 2023. (SRP $69.99)

Aroma is tannin heavy and dry. Flavor is sharp and powerful, the tannin bitter of the wine barrel taking the front seat. Wave of flavor, riding what id describe as the default stranahan's Whiskey base, just a solid American single malt kind of flavor. Again, wish it was richer, but the power of the flavor is quite enjoyable. You don't always get well done bitter flavors in whiskey either, points for that.
Rich, red wine, full bodied, definitely purchase, smooth
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
