Stranahans Diamond Peak Batch #2 Extra Aejo Cask

Diamond Peaks second unique release highlights flavors that transcend traditional whiskey. Using a marriage of 5-8 year Stranahans, the liquid spends up to just over 2 years in casks that previously held the finest extra aejo tequila, the prized Reserva de Familia blended from the Jos Cuervo special family reserves. The resulting whiskey is a burst of brightness thats herbal, peppery, and has just the right amount of agave sweetness.

Distillation: Distilled from 100% malted barley and handmade in small batches at the Stranahans distillery, Colorados first legal distillery since Prohibition

Maturation: A marriage of five to eight-year-old Stranahans 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 aejo 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.

TASTING NOTES

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.
