Old Elk Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey
750 mL | 44% ABV (88 Proof) | Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey | Colorado, USA
Process & Profile
Old Elk Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey is crafted using a high-malt mash bill, distinguishing it from traditional bourbons. Composed of 51% corn, 34% malted barley, and 15% rye, this blend is slowly proofed and aged for a minimum of four years. The use of malted barley in such a high proportion results in a smooth, rich mouthfeel and a uniquely creamy flavor profile. Distilled in Fort Collins, Colorado, Old Elk marries traditional techniques with innovative formulation for a bold yet elegant expression.
