Old Elk, headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado, is known for its slow-cut proofing, bringing its whiskeys down to bottling strength gradually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe higher proof brings what the distiller describes as a brighter whiskey, with crisp tasting notes and a strong presence of fruit over the soft, rounded character of wheat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor lovers of wheated bourbon, it is an elegant and generous gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat, then add a few drops of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWheat whiskey and wheated bourbon both use wheat as a key grain, which gives a softer, rounder and sweeter whiskey than rye, with notes of honey, bread and baking spice. Blending the two lets Old Elk build a whiskey with the softness of wheat and the depth of bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 107.1 proof, a few drops of water open up the fruit and soften the heat, while a large ice cube makes it a slow, easy sipper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA straight whiskey must be aged at least two years in new charred oak; at six to eight years, this blend sits well beyond that minimum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright and crisp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e A strong presence of fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wheat-forward: 71.5% wheat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old Elk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Straight Whiskey blend (wheat whiskey and wheated bourbon)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6-8 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 71.5% wheat, 25% corn, 3.5% barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 107.1 proof (53.55% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fort Collins, Colorado, United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or with a little water.
