Old Elk 6Y Straight Wheat Whiskey – Fort Collins, CO (BIN 321, Proof 100)
Famed distiller Greg Metze may have left MGP for Old Elk, so who better to develop a 95% wheat, 5% Malted Barley whiskey at MGP for Old Elk and spearhead this new wave of Wheat Whiskies? Honey drenched cherry and apricot notes immediate hit your nose followed by sweet oak. The first sip is mouth coating with more honey and fruit. Nutty pecan, spicy oak, and vanilla flavors build before the flavors settle into sweet warmth. -
Old Fitzgerald 7 Year Wheated Bourbon – Louisville, KY (BIN 772, Proof 100)

The nose opens with honey, caramel, citrus, and ripe summer fruits layered with vanilla and baking spices. A rich, silky palate brings toffee, brown sugar, toasted nuts, and spiced fruit, leading to a long, warming finish of oak, caramel, leather, and lingering cinnamon and pepper. -
Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style Bourbon – Louisville, KY (BIN 913, Proof 115)
Old Forester is the only brand to continuously operate before, during, and after Prohibition. This nod to its prohibition-era style is like sipping on warm banana bread and proof that new isn’t always better! Rich and bold, this whiskey opens with dark fruit, burnt brown sugar, chocolate, and a hint of banana. The palate is deep and warming with barrel char, caramel, crème brûlée, banana bread, coffee, and light smoke, finishing long with dark chocolate, allspice, black pepper, and lingering oak char.
