Only Breaking Bourbon has scored this bottle, and one review isn't enough for a negative call. Breaking Bourbon gives it 3/5, right in line with the typical rye whiskey (125 rated).
Old Elk Rum Cask Finish Rye is a straight rye whiskey (95% rye, 5% malted barley) distilled by MGP and bottled by Old Elk Distillery, aged 5+ years and finished an additional 2-5 months in 14-year-old ex-Barbados rum casks. Part of Old Elk's Cask Finish Series blended by Master Blender Melinda Maddox, it is bottled at 101 proof and offers notes of burnt brown sugar, molasses, rye spice, maple syrup, caramel and allspice.
