Old Elk Straight Bourbon (Bourbon Enthusiast) #119 5 year 750 ml

Old Elk Straight Bourbon, barrel #119, is a five-year-old single barrel selected for Bourbon Enthusiast from Old Elk Distillery in Fort Collins, Colorado, founded by OtterBox creator Curt Richardson. It's made from a mash of corn, rye, and malted barley, aged in new charred American oak, with this particular barrel picked out individually rather than blended into a standard batch. Expect caramel, oak, and vanilla on the nose, with toffee, oak, and baking spice on the palate, and a long finish with a touch of sweetness typical of a well-aged single barrel. Because it's a single-barrel selection, this exact bottle's character is unique to barrel #119 rather than blended for consistency. This bottle suits bourbon collectors who track single-barrel picks from specific retailers or groups.

How to drink Old Elk Barrel #119

Pour it neat to taste this specific barrel's character on its own, or add a few drops of water if the five years in wood run a little hot for your taste. Single barrel picks like this are best tasted before mixing.
