Old Elk's wheated bourbon recipe ups the wheat and keeps the corn at the minimum: 51% corn, 45% wheat and 4% malted barley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven years in the barrel and a high wheat content give a soft, rounded bourbon with warm sweetness, while the higher proof of this private selection adds depth and intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA private pick of an acclaimed wheated bourbon, it makes a fine gift for wheater fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat, then add a few drops of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWheated bourbons replace rye, the usual spicy second grain, with wheat, which gives a softer, sweeter whiskey with notes of honey, caramel and bread. Private selections are barrels or batches chosen for their particular character, so each one is a little different.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrain:\u003c\/strong\u003e 51% corn, 45% wheat, 4% malted barley.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft, rounded and sweet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110 proof.\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 Wheated Bourbon, Private Selection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 51% corn, 45% wheat, 4% malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110 proof (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.
