Old Elk Blended American Whiskey Cigar Cut Island Blend

Old Elk’s Cigar Cut Island Blend is a daring blend that leans tropical but stays rooted in whiskey craft. It begins with a trio of base spirits—bourbon, rye, and wheat—each aged at least six years. Then each spirit is finished in tropically themed casks: Port, Sauternes, Sherry, and Rum. The result is complex yet inviting—honey, stone fruit, spice, tropical brightness, and oak interplay. At 111.7 proof, it commands attention without overpowering nuance. Drawing inspiration from cigar-friendly drams, this blend is bold, layered, and made for slow enjoyment.

Aroma – honey and spice, with notes of stone fruit

Palate – pear, honey, tropical fruit, steeped tea leaves

Old Elk 'Cigar Cut Island Blend' Cask Finished Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a splendid companion to a variety of culinary experiences. Its rich and complex profile pairs beautifully with the smoky flavors of grilled meats or the boldness of aged cheeses. For a dessert pairing, consider a dark chocolate torte or a caramel-flavored dessert, which will harmonize with the bourbon's caramel and vanilla notes.
