Down Slope Distilling is a local Colorado distillery, which can be found in Centennial, Colorado. They currently make 10 spirits and can be found in 7 states. I recently did a tasting on the Double Diamond Whiskey. The whiskey is made with 65% Maris Otter Floor Malted Barley and 35% Rye. It is 80 proof, 40% alcohol. On the nose I got a sense of fruit, maybe apricot, some charred oak and a sweet tart. For the taste I got a mild pepper to warm you on a cold day. A bit of olive oil, caramel and a mushroom earthly flavor to bring out the peat. Definitely a sipping whiskey for sure. Looking forward to attending their distillery school.
