OLD ELK BLENDED STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY

Untitled-3-01.png

88 Proof, 44% Alc/Vol

The key to our bourbon is our high malted barley content in our mashbill. By investing in our bourbon and using four times more malted barley than traditional recipes, we’ve created a non-traditional bourbon that generates sweet and light components. Aged for five years, the malted barley combined with the spicy essence of clove from the rye, and the classic rich bourbon character from the corn amounts to a robust and smooth taste profile.

TASTING NOTES

  • Aroma: Sweet vanilla and caramel, clove spice, slight maple, and nutty almond
  • Taste: Maple syrup, almond, raw bran, chocolate, deep wood and coconut
  • Mouthfeel: Smooth and coating with a lasting flavor

Wheat mash bills have all the same challenges of a rye and are never an easy path to take when distilling, but Metze decided to craft Old Elk’s Straight Wheat Whiskey in the spirit of the acclaimed 95 percent rye whiskey.

100 Proof, 50% Alc/Vol

Rye Whiskey: it’s a benchmark for others, but for us it’s an exceptional standard that we’ve achieved. Taste this knock-out rye, made up of 95 percent rye and 5 percent malted barley, and you’ll understand. After distilling millions of bottles of world class rye whiskey, Greg Metze decided to put his decades of experience and passion into Old Elk’s Straight Rye Whiskey. The International Whisky Competition named it the Best American Rye Whiskey, but don’t just take their word for it, taste it for yourself.

TASTING NOTES

  • Aroma: Spice, peach, cinnamon sugar, almost like peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream
  • Taste: Bold spice of rye, allspice, peach on the middle of the tongue, caramel on the finish, medium oak, slightly drying
