Middle West Spirits has launched its Old Elk Distillery 10-Year Old Collection, consisting of a Straight Bourbon, Straight Wheat Whiskey and Wheated Bourbon.
Old Elk’s 10-Year-Old Straight Bourbon has high malted barley content (34%), a departure from traditional mash bills. By increasing the proportion of malted barley and balancing it with rye (15%) and corn (51%), the team has created a bourbon with a layered complexity. After a decade of aging, the result is a 105 proof spirit.
With the 10 Year Old Elk Straight Wheat Whiskey features 96% soft red winter wheat mashbill, matured in barrels for a full decade. Ten years of aging elevates the attributes of the grain and creates 103 proof whiskey.
A wheated bourbon may be a staple in many whiskey portfolios, but for Old Elk it represents something greater. This 10-Year-Old Wheated Bourbon applies decades of experience with wheat whiskey, and is crafted with a 46% wheat content and 10 years of patient maturation. The result is a 105 proof expression.
This marks the first major new releases for Old Elk since Middle West Spirits’ acquisition of the distillery in May 2025.
The Old Elk 10-Year-Old Straight Bourbon, 10-Year-Old Straight Wheat Whiskey and 10-Year-Old Wheated Bourbon are available nationwide for $69.99 each.
