Old Elk Sour Mash Reserve Batch 2
At Old Elk Distillery passion takes you places, and that’s evident through the story of Old Elk Sour Mash Reserve. In 2014, they began the journey to discover what effect a different yeast has on their custom high-malt mash bill, which was expertly developed by Old Elk Master Distiller, Greg Metze. Inspired to craft remarkably smooth and innovative whiskeys that transcend tradition, they experimented with fermentation. After more than six years of patient maturation, Greg selected thirty barrels of this remarkable whiskey to blend into each batch. The result showcases the sturdy foundation of Old Elk’s high-malt barley mash bill with bright and floral notes that transport you to the place where they laid this whiskey down.
The Sour Mash Reserve is the latest in the lineup of whiskeys from Old Elk.
“When we first decided to create Old Elk with our signature custom high-malt mash bill, we wanted to do something special, and as Kate says, ‘The magic is in the fermentation.’ We’re constantly exploring new expressions and knew that this is something extraordinary that will cause a stir among the whiskey community, especially those looking for variations in a small batch product. Each batch release contains only thirty barrels at a time, and the taste profile will vary slightly from batch to batch, making it exciting to search for each new release,” Old Elk’s CEO, Luis Gonzalez, added.
The sour mash technique promotes what’s described as ideal conditions for yeast to produce the best flavor. It is a lot-oriented expression using the familiar technique of sour mash. The first batch was distilled in New York with a proprietary yeast blend.
