Old Elk Straight Bourbon 5 year (750ml)

Description

One of the things that sets Old Elk apart from the herd is our Slow Cut™ Proofing Process. For us it means extra steps and extra costs. For you it means the world-class quality you’ve come to expect from our products.

To proof alcohol, water is added until the liquid reaches a desired strength. However, this creates a heat liberating reaction, and when you add hundreds of gallons of water in a day or two, it ends up boiling off many of the lighter, finer flavors.

Here at Old Elk, though, we’ve always done things differently. Instead of a day, we spend weeks adding small increments of water to keep our liquid cool and save the delicate flavors our team works so hard to produce during mashing, fermentation, distillation, and maturation. It’s why we’ve deemed our whiskey Slow Cut™, and it’s why you can taste the quality in every sip.
