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

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.
