History,
Each year’s batch spends a varying amount of time in different barrels, so the flavor results change every year with their blending.
Batch 23, intended to be released in 2020, is named Sunshine Peak per Stranahan’s tradition for a “14er” or a Colorado mountain peaking over 14,000 feet. The initial whiskey was finished in casks that once held apple brandies, including Calvados from Normandy and Applejack, as well as Moscatel and Cabernet wines. The resulting whiskey features a burst of brightness, like its name, with red wine notes layered throughout.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: Caramelized fruits and hints of brown butter. Juicy esters tempered by sweet malt.
palate: Bright apples and apple skin tannins mellow into richer wine character. Buttercream meringue.
Finish: Malt reappears balanced by tobacco and fruit preserves. Ripe apples fold into a long barley sugar finish.
