Old Elk - Straight Wheated Bourbon
Bottle completed
Appearance / Color
Mahogany Library
Nose / Aroma / Smell
Classic for wheated Bourbon with toffee and caramel, but has overtones of marzipan and warm florals.
Flavor / Taste / Palate
Smooth and silky with notes of almond praline, English toffee, vanilla creams, baked peach, nutmeg, and clove.
Finish
The finish defines smooth satisfaction.
A Bourbon that is more than wheated — delivering smoothness, fruit, and creamy toffee. Old Elk Distillery is not "just" another start-up operation in Colorado. Serial entrepreneur Curt Richardson launched the dream seven years ago in Colorado Springs. And he has his right-hand man — Luis Gonzalez — as CEO. They’re both great guys, but Curt knows that a successful business is built on the talent of the team, and that’s why he recruited Greg Metze who worked at… ahem, a certain prolific distillery in Indiana (what is now MGP) for thirty-eight years, rising to the position of master distiller. That’s a team you can build a company on, and the result demonstrates their success. We all know that rye delivers the spice and wheat delivers the smooth, right? But this is not a "tame" Spirit. It is pungent and flavorful and alive. But the profile leans more toward peaches and cream. Wheat lovers, this is the Gold Medal dram you’re looking for.
