Description
Wheat-Forward Patience, Colorado Perfected
Old Elk Distillery’s Straight Bourbon Wheated 10 Year is a masterclass in soft, approachable complexity. Swapping rye for wheat in the mash bill, this expression delivers the signature Old Elk smoothness elevated by a full decade of aging in new charred American oak. Under the guidance of Master Distiller Greg Metze, every barrel is carefully selected to ensure a wheated bourbon that is both refined and deeply satisfying.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Warm honey, soft caramel, and fresh baked bread lead with subtle hints of dried apricot, vanilla, and a gentle floral note.
- Palate: Silky and full-bodied with layers of butterscotch, toasted wheat, stone fruit, and milk chocolate. The wheated mash bill lends a plush, rounded sweetness that integrates beautifully with the oak after ten years of aging.
- Finish: Long and smooth with lingering honey, soft oak, and a delicate warmth that fades gracefully.
