Stranahan's Mountain Angel 10 Year Old Batch 4 Release Single Malt Whiskey
Stranahan’s Mountain Angel 10 Year Old Single Malt Whiskey is a milestone expression in the American single malt category — the first age-stated 10-year straight American single malt from one of Colorado’s most respected craft distillers. With a decade of maturation in new American oak and a rich, layered profile, this annual limited release delivers elegant complexity, balance, and depth — ideal for contemplative sipping or showcasing the potential of American single malt whiskey. This is Batch 4.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Mountain Angel is produced at Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey Distillery in Denver, Colorado — widely regarded as a pioneer of the American single malt whiskey category. Made from 100 % malted barley, distilled in small batches and aged with pristine Rocky Mountain snowmelt water, this 10 Year Old expression reflects both traditional craft and local terroir. Over a full ten years in new charred American oak barrels, the whiskey undergoes a dramatic “angel’s share” loss due to the high-altitude warehouse environment, concentrating its flavors and aromatic intensity. Limited quantities are released annually, and each batch forms part of the evolving narrative of ultra-premium American single malt whiskey.
Tasting Profile
Nose:
Inviting and layered, with warm vanilla cream, fragrant mountain pine, and sweet citrus zest, accentuated by hints of spiced oak and gentle dried fruit that reflect both age and altitude.
Palate:
Complex yet harmonious, offering up candied raspberries, caramelized sugar, and toasted barley, balanced by rich oak spice, subtle jalapeño heat, and dark chocolate undertones. The malt-forward base yields silky texture and impressive depth.
Finish:
Long and satisfying, with lingering seasoned oak, dried fruit, and warm spice, leaving a refined and contemplative aftertaste that rewards slow sipping.
