Taste 4 Tasting Notes:

Marzipan and vanilla cookies lead the way with dark fruit leather, digestive biscuits, raisins, and caramel rounding out the rest of the nose. Nutmeg-heavy creamy eggnog leads the way in the taste with support from oatmeal cookies, sweetgrass, vanilla tobacco, wintry spices, and a hint of raw, grated carrot — a sweet one — on the very end.

Ranked #6: Old Elk Four Grain - Taste 4

ABV: 52.95%

Average Price: $99

The Whiskey:

This whiskey from out in Colorado combines two whiskeys from Indiana (MGP) with Colorado’s Rocky Mountain vibe. The whiskeys are a corn/rye/barley mash bill combined with a corn/wheat/barley mash to create a four-grain experience from blending instead of scratch. That whiskey then spends six to seven years aging in the Rocky Mountain state before it’s bottled as-is.

Bottom Line:

This was the best of the first half of the bottles ranked on this list. This is a damn fine bourbon with some nice depth. That said, I think I want to try this in a cocktail next as opposed to a sipper.
