Old Elk Master's Blend Series Double Wheat Straight Whiskey
Blended American Whiskey — USA
Reviewed January 25, 2023Nose is muted oak, sweet. Taste comes in smooth and slightly sweet, I notice the wheat flavor but it’s well balanced and towards the middle some spice comes in. It has a decent finish and is solid all the way through. -
Nose is herbal and fruity with some rye notes. Taste comes in strongly of rye, I wouldn’t have thought there was bourbon in this mix with how strong the rye is. It’s sweet and fruity with some maple notes along with the rye. There are some slices to it as well, maybe some cinnamon. The finish is medium length. It’s good but the maple rye flavor is a little out of balance for me.

Floral, toffee, caramel and vanilla nose. Comes in very smooth, creamy and sweet. I can definitely taste the wheat which isn’t overpowering and is nicely balanced by the sweetness. It’s quite unique and I really like the flavors this mash bill produced. It’s got a nice thick mouthfeel and medium finish. Very enjoyable overall.

Laphroaig Cairdeas 2020 Port & Wine Casks
Peated Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed January 3, 2023Very smoky and peaty as Laphroaig is, but not harsh like the standard 10 year is for me. Burnt popcorn is what this tastes like with some smoke thrown in. You get a bit of the port and wine towards the middle but it’s a very subtle addition for me. It’s a stand out dram if you want that “in your face” smoke but in a balanced and tasty way.
