Old Elk Cognac Cask Finish did that recently when I tasted it and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a cask finish you want to send to whiskey makers who can't seem to achieve the balance of used casks and new whiskey like master distiller Greg Metze does here.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - Steve, Bourbon Banter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 10 months this whiskey spends finishing in cognac casks is evident from the initial pour. The nose opens with vanilla ice cream smothered in berry sauce, golden raisins, and worn leather. The cognac influence on the palate is quieter, with vanilla, caramel, and sweetened oatmeal taking center stage, flanked by hints of bananas, plums, and berries. Water brightens the whiskey, highlighting the sweeter fruit flavors. The finish is long and oaky, with leather and vanilla.\" - Shane English, Whisky Advocate (90 Points)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Old Elk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45462744367319,"sku":"OLD-ELK-COGNAC-CASK","price":175.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0246\/9753\/6596\/files\/tds-old-elk-cognac-cask.jpg?v=1721975442","url":"https:\/\/thedrinksociety.sg\/products\/old-elk-cognac-cask-finish-straight-bourbon-whiskey-750ml","provider":"The Drink Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
