Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey is reintroducing its beloved Diamond Peak.
The original Diamond Peak was a limited-edition single malt batch that was double distilled in a hand-selected blend of four Rocky Mountain barleys then aged in virgin-charred American white-oak char #3 barrels. The reintroduced expresson will feature a different unique finish curated by Head Distiller Owen Martin each year. Each yearly batch will join the brand’s core expression lineup.
The 2022 batch combines flavors from around the globe. Like all Stranahan’s expressions, the whiskey begins with 100% malted barley. After being aged in American oak barrels for two to seven years, the liquid is transferred to Bushmills Irish single malt whiskey casks, where it ages for up to four additional years. Finally, the whiskey is cut to proof with Rocky Mountain water from Eldorado Springs and non-chill filtered.
“With Diamond Peak, Stranahan’s is pushing the boundaries of what can be expected from a refined American Whiskey,” said Owen Martin, Head Distiller at Stranahan’s. “We’re excited to create a new version of this expression each year with an extended finishing technique, and Bushmills was the perfect cask finish to complement our American Single Malt for our first edition. The character of both whiskeys results in a highly sophisticated expression, well-rounded with spices and sweetness.”
Stranahan’s Diamond Peak is bottled at 90 proof and is available for purchase for $79.99.
