40: The Glenlivet 12 Year Double Oak

Welcome to Blue Collar Whiskey Drinkers. On this episode we review our first Scotch The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Double Oak.

 

 

"This whisky has been called a lot of things in its time: smooth, fruity, complex, sophisticated, entertaining, classic. The Original Malt Whisky Almanac says: “A first-class malt. One of the most popular malts in the world – deservedly so.” Representing The Glenlivet’s signature style, this classic malt is first matured in traditional oak, before spending time in American oak casks which impart notes of vanilla and gives the whisky it’s distinctive smoothness. The mineral-rich water that comes from Josie’s Well helps form the flavours during mashing and fermentation, whilst the specific height and width of the copper stills add a delicate yet complex character. Keep a bottle on hand for every occasion."

39: Axe and Oak Incline Rye Whiskey

Welcome to Blue Collar Whiskey Drinkers. On this episode we review Axe and Oak Incline Rye Whiskey.

 

"If you’ve ever been to Colorado Springs, you are familiar with the famous Manitou Incline. “The Incline", climbs over 2,000 vertical feet in less than a mile and 68% steep grade. In other words, it’s no joke. Yet, it remains as one of the most iconic Colorado Springs attractions and landmarks. 

Sitting at 98 proof and with a 95% rye mash bill, we felt like our Colorado Mountain Incline Rye Whiskey was the perfect opportunity to pay homage to this Colorado Springs staple. It’s strong, but by the final step (sip), it’s pure, delicious bliss."

38: Old Elk Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Welcome to Blue Collar Whiskey Drinkers. On this episode we review Old Elk Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

 

"The key to our bourbon is our high malted barley content in our mashbill. By investing in our bourbon and using four times more malted barley than traditional recipes, we’ve created a non-traditional bourbon that generates sweet and light components. The malted barley combined with the spicy essence of clove from the rye, and the classic rich bourbon character from the corn, amounts to a robust and smooth taste profile." Old Elk
