Habits Bottle Shop
Old Elk Rum Cask Finish Rye Whiskey showcases just how wide-ranging the rye whiskey category can be, from bright, spicy top notes to deeper, herbaceous undertones, all shaped further here by a finishing period in rum casks. Produced by Old Elk Distillery in Colorado, this expression takes their base rye whiskey and rests it in casks that previously held rum, layering tropical sweetness and molasses character over the whiskey's naturally spicy backbone. Expect a nose of brown sugar, tropical fruit, and warm rye spice, while the palate combines classic peppery grain with molasses, vanilla, and a touch of tropical sweetness, finishing long and warmly spiced with a rum-influenced richness.
This rye's rum cask finish makes it a fun, flavorful choice for sipping neat or with a single large cube, and it also adds an interesting tropical twist to a classic Old Fashioned. Pair it with grilled pineapple, dark chocolate, or spiced desserts to complement its finish.
Old Elk has become known for creative, well-executed cask finishes, and this Rum Cask Rye is a great showcase of that approach. Order Old Elk Rum Cask Finish Whiskey online at Habits Bottle Shop today.
