Product Description
Each Old Elk Cigar Cut represents the best of the best from our award-winning cask finish project. The Cigar Cut Island Blend features a novel blend of Old Elk's base whiskeys, including high-malt straight bourbon whiskey, straight wheat whiskey and straight rye whiskey - each of which is brought forward with distinct finishes from Port, Sherry, Sauternes and Rum barrels. The final taste profile is lighter in style, a touch tropical, and transports us to our favorite summer getaway. Excellent paired with your favorite cigar, or standalone as your new favorite nightcap.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
