Old Elk Straight Rye Whiskey
Old Elk Straight Rye Whiskey comes from Old Elk Distillery in Fort Collins, Colorado, and it carries a serious pedigree: Master Distiller Greg Metze spent decades at MGP in Indiana, where he oversaw the production of the 95% rye that became the backbone of the modern rye revival. At Old Elk he applied that experience to his own rye, made from 95% rye and 5% malted barley and bottled at 100 proof.
The Whiskey Reviewer described pumpernickel bread, eucalyptus, spruce and orange zest on the nose, thick caramel balanced by evergreen and mint with ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg cookie spice on the palate, and a mild spicy finish, while a second taster found rye spice, spearmint, dark chocolate and oak. The International Whisky Competition named it Best American Rye Whiskey. It has the herbal, minty snap that Metze's ryes are known for, with a fuller body than the standard Indiana bottlings, and it makes a great Sazerac. Old Elk's Colorado home also gives it a bit of high-altitude aging character.
