Process & Profile

Old Elk 10 Year Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a mature high-malt bourbon built around Old Elk's distinctive grain-forward approach. Its mash bill of 51% corn, 34% malted barley, and 15% rye uses substantially more malted barley than a conventional bourbon recipe, balancing corn sweetness with rye spice and rich malt character. After a full 10 years of aging, the whiskey is bottled at 105 proof, delivering layers of mature oak, fig, cocoa, caramel, vanilla, fruit, and subtle honeyed sweetness.
