Just in time for peach season in Colorado, Root Shoot Spirits proudly introduces its limited-edition Colorado Peach Brandy Cask Finished Whiskey. Finished in Colorado peach brandy barrels from Peach Street Distillers, this seasonal release is now available at retailers across Colorado and will soon be available through Root Shoot Spirits’ online store at https://buy.rootshootspirits.com/
The limited-edition whiskey begins with Root Shoot’s award winning 4-year American Single Malt Whiskey, crafted entirely from Colorado-sown, grown, and malted grain cultivated on Root Shoot’s fifth-generation family farm in Loveland. The whiskey opens with aromas of cobbler, honeyed granola, and clean alpine florals, followed by notes of rich pastry, faint cocoa dust and spicy botanicals. The spirit is then finished in Peach Street Distillers’ peach brandy casks, whose brandy is made from Colorado-grown Palisade peaches.
The result is a distinctly Colorado American Single Malt Whiskey: smooth, lush, and shaped by Colorado grain and peach farmers at every stage. The finish layers Colorado’s famous Palisade peach character with the malt and spice of Root Shoot’s American Single Malt Whiskey, capturing the essence of summer in every sip.
“Everything we make starts on the farm, so finishing our American Single Malt in Colorado peach brandy casks was a natural fit,” said Todd Olander, Root Shoot’s farmer and founder. “It’s a whiskey that celebrates two of Colorado’s greatest crops, barley and peaches, and the farmers who grow them.”
