LIMITED RELEASE CASK-FINISHED WHISKEYS
Diamond Peak is our annual limited release of special cask-finished whiskeys we prize most.
PROCESS & PROFILE
Diamond Peak’s second unique release highlights flavors that transcend traditional whiskey. Using a marriage of 5-8 year Stranahan’s, the liquid spends just over 2 years in casks that previously held the finest extra añejo tequila, the prized Reserva de Familia blended from the José Cuervo special family reserves. The resulting whiskey is a burst of brightness that’s herbal, peppery, and has just the right amount of agave sweetness.
DISTILLATION: Distilled from 100% malted barley and handmade in small batches at the Stranahan’s distillery, Colorado’s first legal distillery since Prohibition
MATURATION: A marriage of five to eight-year-old Stranahan’s American Single Malt Whiskey, initially aged in virgin American Oak Barrels with #3 char.
FINISH: Upon completion of the aging process, the whiskey is transferred into extra añejo tequila casks, where the liquid is finished for up to a little over 2 years. The resulting taste is both rich as it is complex, producing a mix of flavors and an ultra-smooth taste.
CUT: Cut to proof with pristine Rocky Mountain water from Eldorado Springs and non-chill filtered.
NOSE: Peppery and floral, softly layered with butterscotch.
PALATE: Herbal, salted caramel with a mellow oak backbone.
FINISH: Creamy malt fades into light agave sugar.
