There’s a bit of spice, oak and char black pepper and citrus, too. However, the taste is on the mellower side. The cinnamon and oak are noticeable in the taste, with a graininess which may come from the high barley content.

Indeed, when they say high malt, they mean high malt! The mash bill is 51% corn, 34% malted barley and 15% rye. Old Elk Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a high malt bourbon, which is pretty atypical. The idea is that the slow proofing process will preserve more of the bourbon’s flavor. Instead of adding the water over a short period of time, the folks at Old Elk Distillery take their time. Most wheated bourbons are in the neighborhood of 20 wheat, Metze says. Final Thoughts: Old Elk wasn’t messing around with this mashbill. Think toasted oak, butter pecan cookies and raisins. To get to that proof, fresh Colorado mountain water is added. Palate: Extremely mellow, with a velvety mouthfeel and long, slow finish.
However, Old Elk Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey is bottled at 88 proof. After aging at least 5 years, the bourbon comes out of the barrel at, well, barrel proof. Old Elk Distillery uses a unique “Slow Cut Proofing” process in making their bourbons. Please enjoy our Old Elk Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey review! Slow Cut Proofing
