The Old Elk recipe includes three quality ingredients - malted barley, rye, and corn. By investing in our bourbon and using four times more malted barley than traditional recipes, the bourbon generates sweet, light components. The malted barley, combined with spicy essence of clove from the rye, and the traditional rich bourbon character from the corn, creates the overall robust taste profile. Aroma: Sweet vanilla and caramel, clove spice, slight maple, and nutty almond. Taste: Maple syrup, almond, raw bran, chocolate, deep wood, and coconut. Mouthfeel: Smooth and coating with a lasting flavor.
