Old Elk Master’s Blend Double Wheat Whiskey

Old Elk Master’s Blend Double Wheat Whiskey combines Old Elk straight wheat whiskey with its wheated bourbon under master distiller Greg Metze. The two straight whiskeys were distilled for Old Elk at Ross & Squibb Distillery in Indiana and were described in the company release as six to eight years old. Their combined grain ratio is 71.5% wheat, 25% corn, and 3.5% malted barley. This 750ml release is bottled at 53.55% ABV / 107.1 proof.

The published review profile begins with pretzel dough, coffee cake, and pie crust on the nose. Caramel cream candy, graham cracker, and toasted marshmallow shape a rich palate, followed by warm cinnamon bun, maple sugar candy, a light savory leather note, and baking spice on the finish. The bottle carries Old Elk’s Master’s Blend Series, Straight Whiskey, Double Wheat, and 107.1-proof markings. Its defining feature is the wheat-forward marriage of two straight-whiskey styles, giving the release an identity separate from Old Elk’s standard Wheat Whiskey.
