Its a date!

Posted: 02/09/09

I am often asked about the “distilled on date” on the label of a bottle of Stranhan’s.  When I set out to bottle a batch of whiskey I hand select 12 barrels of whiskey varying in age from 2 years to 5 years old and marry them together.  The cask strength whiskey is then cut down to exactly 94 proof using Eldoroado Springs water.  The date we write on the label will generally be the youngest barrel in the batch.
