Old Elk Cognac Cask

Old Elk’s High Malt Bourbon serves as the base for this finished whiskey. The High Malt Bourbon uses Old Elk’s standard mash bill of 51% corn, 34% malted barley and 15% rye. The bourbon is matured for at least 5 years, then finished in 72 gallon Limousin Oak cognac casks for another 10 months. It is bottled at a barrel proof of 109.7, which is a much higher proof than is used for their standard 88 proof bourbon.
