Tasting Notes
Old Elk Rye isn't just another rye; it's a statement. Master Distiller Greg Metze poured decades of experience into crafting this high-rye (95% rye, 5% malted barley) whiskey. Forget the hype, one sip reveals bold spice upfront, softening to a surprising peach sweetness mid-palate, and finishing with a touch of caramel and oak. At 50% ABV, it's got a kick, but drinks surprisingly smooth. Think spice meets fruit cobbler in a glass, a rye that challenges the standard and delivers a memorable experience.
