Master Distiller Greg Metze.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOld Elk Distillery is a Fort Collins, Colorado craft operation founded by Master Distiller Greg Metze — one of the most decorated distillers in American whiskey history, with over 38 years at MGP Ingredients before bringing his expertise to Old Elk. The Small Batch Sour Mash Bourbon uses the traditional sour mash process — where a portion of previously fermented mash is added to each new batch to ensure consistency and develop a distinctive tangy complexity — combined with Old Elk's signature high-malt mash bill that delivers an unusually smooth, rich character. A Colorado craft bourbon built on genuine expertise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak with warm baking spice and a distinctive sour mash complexity from Greg Metze's high-malt recipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exceptionally smooth and layered — caramel, brown sugar, cinnamon, and well-integrated oak with the distinctive depth of the sour mash process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming with lingering caramel, spice, and a clean, Colorado craft close\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old Elk Distillery, Fort Collins, Colorado\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaster Distiller:\u003c\/strong\u003e Greg Metze (38+ years at MGP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small Batch Sour Mash Colorado Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e Varies \/ Proof: Varies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e38 years of expertise, Colorado craft — Old Elk Small Batch Sour Mash is the Fort Collins bourbon for the enthusiast who wants genuine distilling pedigree in their glass.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Old Elk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45870081245418,"sku":null,"price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8250\/0586\/files\/OldElkBourbonWheated750ml.png?v=1777941237","url":"https:\/\/americanfinespirits.com\/products\/old-elk-bourbon-small-batch-sour-mash750ml","provider":"American Fine Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
