Elvis Tiger Man Whiskey
Elvis Tiger Man Whiskey is a 90 proof (45% ABV), 750mL straight Tennessee whiskey with an 80% corn / 10% rye / 10% malted barley mash bill — not a bourbon. Produced by Grain & Barrel Spirits of Charleston, South Carolina in partnership with Elvis Presley Enterprises, it is sourced, blended, and bottled in Tennessee. The bottle honors the "Tiger Man" nickname — Elvis first performed the song in Las Vegas in 1969 and sang it more than 150 times on stage — with "TCB" (Taking Care of Business) on the neck. No age statement; straight whiskey carries a legal minimum of two years in new charred oak. Order online from Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Tiger Man, in a Bottle
Launched alongside "The King" rye in September 2021, Tiger Man is the Tennessee whiskey of the Elvis Whiskey line — sweet, corn-forward, and easy-drinking, with label design by Alyson Design LLC. It is the softer counterpart to the spicy rye: toasted oak and sweet corn first, spice second. Explore more American whiskey and the Elvis Whiskey range.
Tasting Notes
Old gold in the glass. Toasted oak, sweet corn, citrus, and apple on the nose; the palate turns to sweet-toasted maple, roasted creme brulee, Granny Smith apple, and caramel, with a balanced, long, soft, sweet finish (per the brand).
How to Enjoy
Neat or on ice — this is the easy-drinking one. It also works in a Tennessee-style whiskey sour or a simple highball with ginger ale.
