Old Elk Straight Wheat Whiskey (100 Proof)
100 proof 5 years Wheat Whiskey Old Elk Distillery Fort Collins, CO $64.99 95% wheat, 5% malted barley
Nose

Spiced and less sweet than expected, with notes of pineapple upside-down cake, white figs, and light floral notes like dandelion.

Palate

Dense and compact flavor ball featuring pineapple, cherry, white figs, vanilla, allspice, and clove with a peppery spice. Drinks hotter than its 100 proof suggests.

Finish

Spicy kick with pepper jelly notes that builds and fades smoothly.

Recommended
A unique and layered wheat whiskey with surprising spice and a candy-like pineapple upside-down cake character that distinguishes it from typical wheated expressions.
