Old Elk Infinity Blend 2022 whiskey review: A very complex (and very sweet) experiment from Old Elk yields exciting results. whiskey bourbon cocktails
at some point. This is a basic, long-term project that a whiskey fan can explore, typically by using an empty decanter to hold the last few ounces of various favorite bottles of bourbon, rye whiskey, etc. as they are finished. As more samples are added to the infinity bottle, it theoretically grows more complex, and as the bottle is consumed and replenished, it grows and evolves.
It’s a lovely idea, the brainchild of Master Distiller Greg Metze, well known for his decades as a bourbon maestro at MGP of Indiana. The Infinity Blend is a great way to both feature Old Elk’s own evolving stocks of rye and especially wheat whiskey, and add some extra heft with extra matured Kentucky bourbon.
On the nose, the Infinity Blend 2022 is very sweet and sunny, a positively cheerful profile that shows a lot of citrus, with impressions of candied lemon and chocolate covered orange. I’m also getting some peach-like stone fruit, along with toasted piloncillo sugar and perhaps a bit of tart cranberry. Overall it’s fruit forward and sweet, but with lots of fragrant cinnamon/cassia spice. It feels like this could be pretty decadent.
On the palate, those suspicions are confirmed—this is a big, assertive, sweet and desserty dram. Big deep caramel flavors intertwine with dark fruit impressions of cherry and brighter cranberry, coated in vanilla syrup. There’s creme brulee as well, or marshmallow, and although there’s also some old herbal oak notes involved, the structure the wood offers can’t really stand up to the big dessert sweetness.
Overall, this is a really decadent and fun dram, but drinkers should be aware that it definitely is among the sweeter limited release expressions I’ve sampled in recent memory. It’s one to seek out, if that’s what you’re looking for.
