Stranahan's Blue Peak Single Malt Whiskey is double distilled in Colorado at high altitude and ages for four years in new American oak barrels with a #3 char.
Fresh vanilla cookies punctuate the finish, with an integrated array of baking spice, tiramisu, chocolate babka, cinnamon bun, and lemon. Balanced, complex sweetness melding with citrus and spice.
This is a fun, tasty, whiskey. It’s a touch banana heavy, but not in a cloying or chemically way and there’s a pleasant malty, slightly chocolaty, sweetness that builds as it opens and it brings the oak profile with it.
