Old Elk Blended Straight Bourbon

Nose: Banana bread Palate: Caramel but followed up quickly with that banana note again, a good general sweetness Finish: A pretty quick finish that disappears from the palate as quick as it arrived. Overall, a nice five-year with a sweet (but not too sweet) profile. There's nothing flawed about it but also there's nothing that stands out.

Honey, smooth, rye flavor comes through

Definitely starts off smooth with a little bite on the back end.

Nose: maple, vanilla cinnamon Palate: maple, vanilla, oak, nutty, saccharine Finish: sweet finish that quickly turns astringent. I did my best to give this whiskey a chance. I made sure to go below the shoulder and let it sit for a few weeks and it did not get any better. I tried to use it in mixed drinks like an old fashioned and it did not go well. My guess is a large portion of the whiskey is young. For the price you can get a lot better with other brands.
