SNOWFLAKE

Snowflake is an annual bottle release at Stranahan’s Distillery in Denver, Colorado, showcasing an array of rare and worldly cask finishes harmonized into one bottle of American Single Malt. As in nature, no two Snowflakes are alike—each year’s release is unique and produced in limited quantities. Since its first release in 2011, Snowflake has become one of the most sought-after whiskeys in the world, drawing fans from across the country.
