Diamond Peak’s 3rd limited annual release highlights flavors that transcend traditional whiskey. Using a marriage of 6-9 year Stranahan’s American Single Malt Whiskey, the liquid was finished in prized varietals of rum casks from the greater and lesser Antilles of the Caribbean: The Dominican Republic, Barbados, and Martinique.
DISTILLATION: Distilled from 100% malted barley and handmade in small batches at the Stranahan’s, Colorado’s first legal distillery since Prohibition.
MATURATION: A marriage of six to nine-year-old Stranahan’s American Single Malt Whiskey, initially aged in virgin American Oak Barrels.
FINISH: Upon aging, the whiskey is transferred into prized varietals of rum casks from the greater and lesser Antilles of the Caribbean, where the liquid is finished. This unique process yields a rich and complex taste, blending myriad flavors to create an exceptionally smooth profile.
CUT: Cut to proof with pristine Rocky Mountain water and non-chill filtered.
NOSE: Dried apricot and crème brûlée.
PALATE: Bright tropical fruit notes against a brown sugar backdrop.
