New Arrivals/Restock

Founded by Curt Richardson in 2013, the legendary entrepreneur sought out to create a legacy bourbon with unsurpassed quality and taste. In order to achieve this he employed the help of Greg Metze and his 38 years of bourbon whiskey developing experience. Since they began this collaboration, Old Elk distillery has produced premium whiskeys and started innovative practices within the spirits industry, being named Colorado Distillery of the Year at the 2016 and 2017 New York International Spirits Competitions. Additionally, they have adopted a non-traditional patented proofing technique called “Slow Cut.” This method extends the typical 24-48 hour window into weeks and smaller increments in order to maintain a cool temperature for the liquid when going from barrel to bottling proof. Though time-consuming, this technique results in an ideally smooth and rich whiskey and demonstrates their commitment to not cutting corners to achieve the highest qualities. Old Elk Wheated Bourbon is crafted using the same finesse Old Elk utilizes for their flagship bourbon but with an altered mash bill composed of 51 percent corn, 45 percent wheat and four percent malted barley. This wheated bourbon is a well-balanced delight for any whiskey lover, especially those with a proclivity for high-wheat mashbills. Its aroma offers notes of wheat, vanilla, cream, and toffee with light floral tones. The palate is full-bodied with flavors of vanilla, toasted almond, maple syrup, and toffee leading into a black pepper spice which balances the sweeter notes on the back of the palate with a medium-long finish. Enjoy this craft whiskey neat or with a few drops of fresh spring water.
