Old Elk Armagnac Cask Finish (750Ml)

Founded by Curt Richardson in 2013, the legendary entrepreneur sought out to create a legacy bourbon with unsurpassed quality and taste. In order to achieve this he employed the help of Greg Metze and his 38 years of bourbon whiskey developing experience. Since they began this collaboration, Old Elk distillery has produced premium whiskeys and started innovative practices within the spirits industry, being named Colorado Distillery of the Year at the 2016 and 2017 New York International Spirits Competitions.

Additionally, they have adopted a non-traditional patented proofing technique called “Slow Cut.” This method extends the typical 24-48 hour window into weeks and smaller increments in order to maintain a cool temperature for the liquid when going from barrel to bottling proof. Though time-consuming, this technique results in an ideally smooth and rich whiskey and demonstrates their commitment to not cutting corners to achieve the highest qualities.

From their cask series comes Old Elk Armagnac Cask Finish, made from their Straight Bourbon Whiskey that's been finished in Armagnac casks. With their award winning mash bill and their time resting in Armagnac casks, this statement offers a rich and layered profile unlike any released from Old Elk distillery before.
