Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a blended American whiskey from Colorado built around cask finishing, and the effort shows in the glass. Part of Old Elk's cask finish series, Cigar Cut draws on Port, Sherry, Cognac and Armagnac casks. You can follow each layer: dried fruit and sweet dark berries up front, gentle oak and baking spice through the middle, then a long, evolving finish where the brandy casks add polish. At 111.7 proof (55.85% ABV), it has real weight, so it rewards a slow sipper who likes to experiment with a few drops of water. It suits the enthusiast who already knows American whiskey and wants to see what wine and brandy casks can do to it. It is also a natural pick for anyone who enjoys a pour alongside a cigar, since that is the pairing it was designed for. We carry it because it is a different kind of bottle on the American whiskey shelf, with a clear purpose and the strength to back it up.
Pairs well with
- Evening with a Maduro cigar — The whiskey's tobacco, oak and dark berry notes are built to sit alongside the depth of a robust Maduro.
- Grilled steak — Its bold proof and caramel and baking spice notes stand up to the char and richness of a grilled steak.
- Dark chocolate and aged cheese — The dried fruit and sweet berry character from the Port and Sherry casks plays well against bittersweet chocolate and savory aged cheese.
