Old Elk Cognac Cask Finished Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Old Elk Cognac Cask Finished Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Old Elk Cognac Cask Finished Straight Bourbon Whiskey takes Greg Metze’s high-malt bourbon — 51% corn, 34% malted barley, 15% rye — aged at least five years, then finished more than ten months in 72-gallon French Limousin oak Cognac casks. The Cognac wood is what you taste as ripe fruit, grape, honey, and a dry leather edge over the malt sweetness. Bottled at 109.7 proof (54.85% ABV). Pour it on a weekend evening.
Ripe fruit, honey, caramel, and Concord grape lead, with oat, vanilla, and a gentle nuttiness filling a rounded sip. Leather and oak dry the close, and the finish runs long, sweet fruit returning after the spice. It drinks full at 109.7 proof, Cognac fruit standing out on the palate without crowding the bourbon.
