Old Elk Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey
We love the high barley content in this whiskey, as it lends a sweet cereal note and a silken texture. The nose highlights the lifted notes of honey, toffee, and fruit. The oak really comes through on the palate with deep vanilla tones, buttered biscuits, and some shaved cocoa. You’ll find a reason to return to this bottle over and over.
"Initially restrained; as the nose opens up it reveals plum, red berry fruit, pine resin, and root-beer spices. The palate picks up a bit, slightly vinous in its red-fruit drive, herbal-cherry cough drop, and sweet vanilla, leading to a modest finish laced with licorice, cinnamon, and pine forest." -Jeffery Lindenmuth, Whisky Advocate
