Description
A Decade of Patience, Bottled in Colorado
Old Elk Distillery has built its reputation on slow distillation and meticulous maturation, and the Straight Wheat Whiskey 10 Year is the fullest expression of that philosophy. Crafted in Fort Collins, Colorado, this whiskey is made from a high-wheat mash bill and aged for a full decade in new charred American oak barrels — a rarity in the American whiskey landscape. The result is a whiskey of uncommon depth, silkiness, and character that rewards those willing to seek it out.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Warm and inviting with aromas of honey wheat bread, vanilla cream, and dried apricot. Subtle hints of toasted oak and baking spice emerge with time in the glass.
- Palate: Exceptionally smooth and velvety with flavors of caramel, butterscotch, and ripe stone fruit. The high proof adds a pleasant warmth without sacrificing elegance, while notes of cinnamon and toasted grain round out the mid-palate.
- Finish: Long and satisfying with lingering vanilla, light oak tannins, and a gentle spice that fades gracefully.
