Stranahan’s Diamond Peak Batch #2 Extra Añejo Cask Single Malt Whiskey

Stranahan’s Diamond Peak Batch #2 Extra Añejo Cask is a unique whiskey that transcends traditional whiskey flavors. It is made using a blend of 5-8 year Stranahan’s American Single Malt Whiskey, initially aged in virgin American Oak Barrels with #3 char, and finished 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 bright, herbal, and peppery, and has just the right amount of agave sweetness. Stranahan’s is distilled from 100% malted barley and is handmade in small batches at 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. 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.

Finish
The whiskey is cut to proof with pristine Rocky Mountain water from Eldorado Springs and is non-chill filtered. The resulting taste is rich and complex, producing a mix of flavors and an ultra-smooth taste.

Tasting Notes:

Nose
The nose is peppery and floral, softly layered with butterscotch.

Palate
The palate is herbal, salted caramel with a mellow oak backbone.

Finish
The finish is creamy malt that fades into light agave sugar.
