Introduced in 2022 as part of Old Elk's Master's Blend Series, Old Elk Double Wheat Straight Whiskey combines the brand's Straight Wheat Whiskey and Straight Wheated Bourbon. These whiskeys, aged between 6 to 8 years, were initially sourced from MGP in Indiana before being blended and bottled by Old Elk in Colorado.
This is a good effort; I found the whiskey to be very enjoyable and easy to drink. It is clearly well blended and pushes forward the best notes of the selected entry whiskies. However, this struggles with the marriage of mature flavors.
For fans of wheated whiskeys, this is a solid addition that exhibits some keen blending technique that highlights the most rewarding notes of the originals, while still delivering something different and satisfying on its own terms.
