MWE Advent Calendar 2024 - Day 24

🎄 Day 24 of the Minnesota Whiskey Elite Advent Calendar wrapped up the journey with a surprise pour that left The Whisky Friends—Michael, Iggy, Doc, and Ken—scratching their heads and debating their guesses. 🥃

The nose was funky and sweet, leading to early guesses ranging from orange Tic Tacs to Canadian whiskies like Crown Royal or Caribou Crossing. On the palate, it delivered a candy-like sweetness with a punchy finish, leaving everyone both puzzled and intrigued.

The final reveal? Single Cask Guatemala Rum, an 11-year-old pick from Single Cask Nation at a bold 56.6% ABV. The unexpected rum threw the crew for a loop but earned their respect for its sweetness and unique profile—definitely a curveball in the whiskey-dominated lineup.

As the group toasted to Christmas Eve, they reflected on the journey, shared laughs, and even considered diving deeper into rum territory in the future. Cheers to a festive and unpredictable finale! 🎅 🥃 Merry Christmas Eve! See you tomorrow for the final celebration!
