Product description
Elvis Whiskey is a product of Grain & Barrel Spirits, a company founded by Matti Anttila, a former investment banker, in 2013.
During a business trip to Brazil, Anttila tried a local cachaça, which inspired him to change his profession. He soon offered the market his own Cabana Cachaça, followed by vodka, gin, bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey. The latter is dedicated to the king of rock & roll, also known as "The King". So far, the Elvis brand has hit the market in two versions - Straight Tennessee Whiskey and the Straight Rye presented here. The latter is distilled from a mash of rye (95%) and malted barley (5%) at the MGP distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. The drink matures for three years.
Aroma : toasted rye bread, dried dill, anise, white pepper, a touch of vanilla and lemon zest, oak and a trace of pine needles.
Palate : slice of wholemeal bread with butter, mixed dried herbs, white pepper, vanilla, caramel, green apples and toasted oak.
Finish: not too long, with notes of wholemeal, mint, dill, caramel, white pepper and oak.
