Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a straight bourbon built on four grains, with corn as its foundation. It comes from the Old Elk Master Blend Series, a collection of limited-release whiskies blended by Master Distiller Greg Metze, who brings more than 40 years of experience to the work. At 106 proof it has real weight but stays composed. The nose offers sweet corn, vanilla and butterscotch, like warm caramel. The palate is velvety, with caramel, toffee and baking spice, including cinnamon and nutmeg, while a gentle smoky oak undertone keeps the sweetness in balance. The finish is long and warming, moving from caramel and oak into a soft spiciness. It suits the bourbon drinker who knows the familiar profiles and wants to taste what a broader grain recipe brings. It is also sturdy enough to anchor an Old Fashioned or a Boulevardier. We carry it because it is a thoughtful, distinctive Colorado bourbon that rewards slow sipping and side-by-side comparison with your other favorites.
Pairs well with
- Grilled ribeye steak — The bourbon's caramel sweetness and smoky oak undertone complement the charred, savory crust of a well-grilled steak.
- Dark chocolate dessert — Toffee, vanilla and cinnamon notes echo the bittersweet richness of dark chocolate without overwhelming it.
- Fireside bourbon tasting night — Its layered nose and long, warming finish reward slow, side-by-side sipping among friends who like to compare grain recipes.
