Distillery: Painted Stave Distilling

Give the label a close look; its aged in months, not years. Twelve months, to be exact. But for a young one, it holds its own at the dinner table. Diamond State Bourbon Whiskey is 65% corn, 25% rye, and 10% six-row malted barley. The grain was milled, mashed, and fermented in-house and then double distilled in the distillerys copper Vendome pot still before being aged and later bottled at 94 proof.

Diamond State Straight Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Licorice, anise, leathery fruit like raisins. Toasted maple, browned sugar, and a hint of black pepper.

Palate: Vanilla-forward, quite sweet. Mixed with heat and acid that was hard on the tongue lemons, maple, and cinnamon syrup.

Finish: Potent, it lingered long in the throat.
