About this bottle
Old Elk Slow Cut is the brand's flagship Blended Straight Bourbon, renamed in 2025 to put its proofing method on the label. It starts with Old Elk's high-malt straight bourbon, matured four to seven years and blended with other straight bourbons, then brought down to 88 proof slowly, with water added in small steps over weeks rather than all at once. The nose shows caramel, cherry, glazed donut and a little white pepper. The palate is buttery and soft, with sweet pastry, nougat, vanilla and a hint of melon, and the finish is short, with peppercorn, malt and light oak. It's an easygoing bottle for pouring to guests who don't usually drink bourbon.
How to drink Old Elk Slow Cut
Pour it over a big cube, or into a highball with ginger ale and a lemon twist, since at 88 proof it's built for easy drinking rather than slow study. In an Old Fashioned it gives a gentle, dessert-leaning version.
