Old Elk Wheat Whiskey 113.2 - Selected By Bourbon Community Roundtable

Barrel #: BRT3177         Proof: 113.2 Source: MGPi Mash Bill: 95/5 Wheat/Malted Barley Bottle Count: 205 bottles Age: 6-Years & 6-Months Tasting Notes: Brown sugar and apple streusel. Rounded, dark and easy to sip. A little bit of dried cherries and charred peaches. It quickly moves back to the toasted oak and vanilla from the palate. The finish is medium with a bit of sweet oak and spice. Story: In January, the Bourbon Community Roundtable (Breaking Bourbon, Bourbon Pursuit and myself) "BCR" made out way out to Colorado to visit Old Elk. This was only the third time we selected barrels as a group. What we found didn't disappoint! The heart of the Old Elk story starts with Master Distiller Greg Metze. Greg is the former Master Distiller of Midwest Grain Products Ingredients (MGPi). Calling him a "master" of the craft is an understatement. After spending a couple of days tasting and chatting with Greg you quickly realize that he's probably forgotten more about whiskey making then
