Stranahan’s 12 Year Old Founder’s Release is a bold tribute to two decades of pioneering American Single Malt whiskey. Crafted in collaboration with Stranahan’s founder Jess Graber, this limited-edition release celebrates the Colorado distillery’s 20th anniversary with a cask-strength expression that captures the soul of its original vision. Bottled at a robust 120 proof (60% ABV), this whiskey is predominantly unfinished to preserve its raw character, with select portions aged up to 12 years and finished in ex-Bourbon and Blonde Ale casks—a nod to co-founder George Stranahan’s brewing roots.
The result is a rich, full-bodied spirit with decades of experience behind it and layers of complexity in every sip. Distilled high in the Rocky Mountains and aged in charred new American oak, this release pushes boundaries while honoring the craftsmanship that defined Stranahan’s from the beginning.
Tasting Notes:

Why It’s Special:
The Founder’s Release is a rare, deeply personal creation that reflects the roots and evolution of American Single Malt. With whiskey aged 8 to 12 years and finished in both ex-Bourbon and Blonde Ale barrels, it delivers remarkable richness, structure, and intensity. Its cask-strength nature gives it bold presence, while thoughtful finishing adds nuance and nods to the founders’ original artistry.
Perfect Pairing:
Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of spring water to unlock its layered complexity. Pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, roasted nuts, smoked meats, or a well-aged cigar.
A Legacy in Every Drop:
Stranahan’s 12 Year Old Founder’s Release isn’t just a whiskey—it’s a milestone. It encapsulates the heart of a brand that helped define American Single Malt and invites enthusiasts to raise a glass to the journey, the founders, and the next chapter in whiskey innovation.
