Tasting Notes

This Old Elk Straight Wheat Whiskey, bottled in Colorado but born from MGP's famed 95/5 wheat mashbill, is a surprisingly approachable 10-year-old expression. Forget any preconceived notions of harsh oak; instead, expect a comforting wave of honeyed sweetness, like digging into a peach cobbler on a chilly evening. The palate is thick and creamy, delivering butterscotch, baking spices, and a hint of sugar cookie. The finish lingers with nutmeg, cocoa, and a touch of root beer, leaving a warm, inviting impression. It's a high-proof sipper that drinks far easier than expected, making it a great alternative for wheated bourbon fans seeking a unique and delightful experience.
