Bottled by Middle West Spirits, this expression captures the essence of Midwestern grain in every sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honey-drizzled cornbread, vanilla bean, soft baking spices, prairie wildflower honey, gentle oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creamy wheat porridge, caramel corn, cinnamon stick, toasted grain, maple syrup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium length with warm baking spices, wheat cereal, lingering sweetness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStraight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e46.0% (92 Proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNAS (No Age Statement)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOld Elk Distillery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColumbus, Ohio, USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMash Bill\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51% Corn, 46% Wheat, 3% Malted Barley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeat Sipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Slow Cut process preserves delicate flavors perfect for contemplative evening pours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBourbon Beginners:\u003c\/strong\u003e High wheat content creates an approachable entry point into American whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassic Cocktails:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth profile enhances Old Fashioneds and Boulevardiers without overwhelming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Gatherings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Comforting grain character ideal for autumn celebrations and holiday toasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Old Elk Wheated Bourbon Slow Cut taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOld Elk Wheated Bourbon offers a creamy, grain-forward profile with prominent notes of honey, vanilla, and soft baking spices. The high wheat content creates a smooth mouthfeel reminiscent of breakfast cereals and maple syrup, while the corn base provides natural sweetness. The Slow Cut proofing preserves these delicate flavors that might otherwise be muted during traditional reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Old Elk Wheated Bourbon good for cocktails?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this wheated bourbon excels in classic whiskey cocktails where its smooth character won't overpower other ingredients. The 92-proof strength provides sufficient backbone for Old Fashioneds and Manhattans, while the wheat's creamy texture adds body to spirit-forward drinks. It's particularly excellent in cocktails that benefit from subtle sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I drink Old Elk Wheated Bourbon Slow Cut?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bourbon is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to fully appreciate the Slow Cut proofing process. Serve at room temperature in a Glencairn glass to concentrate the honeyed aromas. A single ice cube can open up additional grain notes, but avoid over-chilling which may mute the delicate wheat characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the Slow Cut process special?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Slow Cut proofing method carefully reduces the bourbon from barrel strength to bottling proof at a controlled pace, preserving flavor compounds that are often lost during rapid proofing. This technique maintains the whiskey's original character while achieving the desired alcohol content, resulting in a more flavorful final product than traditional reduction methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat bourbons are similar to Old Elk Wheated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOld Elk Wheated shares characteristics with other high-wheat bourbons like Maker's Mark and Larceny, though the Slow Cut process creates a unique flavor preservation. Unlike rye-heavy bourbons that emphasize spice, this expression focuses on grain sweetness and creamy texture. It's comparable to Weller expressions in smoothness but with its own distinct Ohio terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou must be 21 years of age or older to purchase this product.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Old Elk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43386198589514,"sku":"OEWBSCSBW","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/6095\/7258\/files\/front_6e606aef-e74c-4e9a-bf08-e84b22f750bb.jpg?v=1772987314"}],"url":"https:\/\/theoldrickhouse.com\/collections\/old-elk.oembed","provider":"The Old Rickhouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
