Old Elk's Tropical Detour
Whiskeysmith is what happened when Old Elk Distillery — a serious bourbon house in Fort Collins, Colorado — decided flavored whiskey deserved a culinary brief instead of a candy brief. The line launched in October 2020 with Pineapple, Chocolate and Banana, each built on real American whiskey with fruit essences and culinary-inspired extracts rather than syrup. Pineapple is the flagship of the three: ripe tropical fruit over the whiskey's caramel and toasted wood, at a 60-proof strength designed for ice, soda and company rather than contemplation. Line it up with the rest of the flavored shelf in our whisky collection, or browse the brand on the Whiskeysmith vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Fresh ripe pineapple with a hint of vanilla from the barrel. Palate: Pineapple and sweet caramel over toasted wood and tropical fruit. Finish: Lingering tropical fruit with warm wood — smooth and semi-dry at the end.
How to Enjoy
Over ice with soda for a two-ingredient tropical highball, or as the whiskey in a Pineapple Old Fashioned with the sugar cut back — the fruit is already in the glass. It also disappears happily into punch and tiki-leaning mixes.
