Old Elk Distillery, nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Colorado, has become synonymous with innovation and craftsmanship in the world of whiskey. Founded by Greg Metze, a master distiller with a rich history in the spirits industry, Old Elk focuses on redefining the bourbon experience. Their unique approach involves a significant emphasis on using four times more malted barley than traditional recipes, resulting in a bourbon that is both sweet and light, while still boasting a robust character. This creative spirit has garnered numerous accolades, establishing Old Elk as a standout in the bourbon category.
The Old Elk Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a testament to this commitment to quality and innovation. With each sip, drinkers can expect a symphony of flavors that balance the sweet notes of caramel and vanilla with the spicy essence of rye. The bourbon undergoes a meticulous slow cut proofing process that allows its rich flavors to develop and harmonize, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable drinking experience. This attention to detail makes Old Elk a perfect choice for both seasoned whiskey aficionados and newcomers alike.
