March has been a much-anticipated month. Lots of events took the team around the country. At the same time, we waited (impatiently!) for the results from the Whiskey Icons Awards (psst– check out our Spotlights!) We’ve also been feeling the love for our latest Infinity Blend and Cigar Cut releases while taking advantage of this unseasonably warm winter in the mountains. Spring is approaching, and we have a lot up our sleeves. Until then… - The Old Elk Team.
