We are always delighted when a publication decides to do an article on or related to Eldorado Springs or Eldorado Natural Spring Water. Our friends at MetMedia, The Student Voice of MSU Denver have recently published an article about our long relationship with Stranahan's. Portions of that article are below. We would like to point out that while the article is a bit unclear on the topic, we are proud to offer BPA-free bottles.
Water is all around — even in a local favorite distillery, Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey.
Located at 200 South Kalamath Street in Denver, Colorado, Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey is a single malt American whiskey. It was first introduced in 2004 by Jess Graber and George Stranahan, two friends who shared a passion for whiskey and the outdoors.
Stranahan’s uses Eldorado Natural Spring Water throughout every stage of the distilling process. Founded in April 1983, Eldorado has provided the distillery with freshwater for decades.
Located just outside of Boulder, Colorado, their water is provided by natural rain and snow runoff that is pushed into an aquifer nearly 8,000 feet underground. Although the drought of the midwest has deeply impacted precipitation and evaporation of water, groundwater systems are thousands of years old and virtually unaffected by the drying climate.
There is no chemical treatment done to the water in any way. Instead, “Our water is considered an artesian spring, and that’s because it’s coming from so deep down,” said Jeremy Martin, Executive Vice President of Eldorado Artesian Springs. “It’s getting filtered through the sandstone.”
