Old Elk 10 Year Old Wheated Bourbon Whiskey
Old Elk 10 Year Old Wheated Bourbon brings wheat's softness to bourbon at a full decade of age. This 750mL bottle is 10 years old and bottled at 105 proof (52.5% ABV), on a mash bill of 51% corn, 46% wheat, and 3% malted barley — a genuinely high-wheat bourbon.
Made in Fort Collins, Colorado under Master Distiller Greg Metze, and released under new ownership by Middle West Spirits (Ohio), this is the wheated member of Old Elk's 2026 10-year collection. Like the whole collection, it's finished with the proprietary Slow Cut™ proofing — gradual proofing over weeks rather than hours — to keep the whiskey's softest flavors intact (official SRP $69.99).
Tasting notes
Brown sugar, French vanilla ice cream, toasted hay, and caramel cream on the nose; chocolate pastries and vanilla custard on the palate — rich, sweet, and silky.
