About this bottle

Old Elk Small Batch Sour Mash Reserve Batch #2 is a bourbon from Old Elk Distillery in Fort Collins, Colorado, made using the traditional sour mash method — a portion of a prior batch's fermented mash carried into the new batch to help control acidity and build consistency. As a numbered batch release, #2 reflects a specific selection distinct from other Old Elk batches, meaning slight variation is expected across releases. Old Elk has built a reputation for careful, small-batch production rather than mass distilling, aging its whiskey in the drier Colorado climate rather than traditional Kentucky rickhouses. Expect a well-balanced, oak-forward bourbon with the layered complexity sour mash production is known for.

How to drink Old Elk Sour Mash Reserve Batch #2

Neat is the way to taste this specific batch's character before comparing it to other Old Elk releases. It's balanced enough to also hold up well in a Manhattan.
