Description
Old Elk Wheated Straight Bourbon Single Barrel is a barrel-selected release from Old Elk Distillery in Fort Collins, Colorado, drawn from a single barrel that rested a full ten years. Built on a wheated mash bill rather than the more common rye, it reflects Old Elk’s focus on long-aged, barrel-specific bottlings that vary subtly from cask to cask.
A decade in oak gives this bourbon a deep amber color and a nose of caramel, vanilla bean, and baking spice layered over toasted oak. On the palate, the wheat grain comes through as a soft, rounded sweetness of brown sugar and toffee, backed by cinnamon and clove from the barrel. The finish is long and warming, carrying oak char, dried fruit, and a lingering spice note true to its cask strength proof.
As a single barrel bottling, each cask carries its own character, making this a natural pick for bourbon collectors building out a wheated or barrel-proof lineup.
