Old Elk Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Old Elk's Slow Cut™ proofing process enhances the bourbon’s flavors through a patient process where full barrel proof bourbon is cut, then left to rest, and repeated. While traditional proofing takes 24-48 hours, this Slow Cut™ technique, developed over several test periods, takes significantly longer. This intentional time period allows the flavors to marry between stages, until the exact character is achieved, creating an overall smoother bourbon whiskey.
