Old Elk 10 Year Old Straight Bourbon Whiskey (75cl, 52.5%)

Old Elk 10 Year Old Straight Bourbon is aged for ten years and bottled at 52.5% ABV (105 proof) in a 750ml bottle. It is made under Master Distiller Greg Metze and finished with the weeks-long Slow Cut proofing process. The mash bill is distinctive: 51% corn, 34% malted barley and 15% rye, which is considerably more malted barley than traditional bourbon recipes use. The barley brings a nutty, toasty depth. The nose shows oak, fig jam, almond paste, cocoa powder and honeycomb. On the palate there are fruit, caramel and vanilla, with toasted corn, cinnamon, brown sugar and nuttiness, and the finish runs from minty to peppery.
