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 up to 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.

PREVIOUS RELEASE
Stranahan’s Irish Cask
AGE: 7+ YR | CASK TYPE: BUSHMILLS IRISH SINGLE MALT
THE STORY Diamond Peak’s first unique release highlights flavors that transcend geography. After being aged in American oak barrels for 4 years, the liquid is finished in Bushmills Irish single malt barrels for more than 3 years, providing a unique and complex profile that would make an Irishman blush.
TASTING NOTES Butterscotch, cereal sweetness, and well-oiled leather aromas evolve into earthy grain flavors with toffee accents on the palate. The buttery palate leads into a light, but long, finish.
AVAILABILITY Stranahan’s first Diamond Peak release (Bushmills Single Malt Cask) is currently available for purchase on our online store.
