Old Elk Straight Wheat Whiskey

Sometimes, you don’t start to appreciate a whiskey until you’re almost done with the bottle. So it went with Old Elk’s Straight Wheat Whiskey, a sturdy sipper that didn’t fully reveal itself until the final drams. Drawing from a mashbill of 95 per cent soft red winter wheat with a 5 per cent touch of malted barley, this juice spent at least 5 years in the barrel to render a balanced profile of wheat, dried fig, sweet vanilla, and subtle oak spice. Alas, if only I had another bottle to start the journey all over again!

Old Elk Distillery hails from Colorado and uses a patented slow-cut-proofing process during production, adding water to the whiskey in gradual increments to keep the temperature cool and retain maximum flavour and quality. Their Straight Wheat Whiskey is bottled at 50% ABV and best paired with orange milk chocolate on Valentine’s Day, should you be sipping for the occasion.
