Old Elk - Sour Mash Reserve Small Batch Straight Bourbon Whiskey Batch #5
Our Old Elk Sour Mash Reserve is a nod to our start up roots. Inspired to craft smooth and innovative whiskey, we took our award-winning high-malt bourbon and began the journey to discover what would change experimenting with a different yeast. The robust foundation of the liquid anchors the heady complexities from the unique yeast. The result are 30 barrel batches of whiskey that transport you.
Nose: Tons of fruit and spice and sweet cream. Slight notes of pepper and nuttiness as well.
Palate: The spice is the driver here, with the fruit and nuttiness taking a backseat. The high malt content shines here, with some floral, almost gin-like bite to it. There's a lot going on here, notes of orange, toffee, and faint honey and sweet cream. The palate leaves your tongue tingling.
Finish: The malt spice is dominant in the finish, with the tingle from the palate extending into the finish. Spice and fruit are also present
