The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
Old Elk Armagnac Cask Finish Whiskey takes the distillery's signature high-malt straight bourbon and rests it further in casks that previously held Armagnac, the French grape brandy. That extra finishing period lets the bourbon's malt-forward backbone pick up notes from the Armagnac wood, adding fruit and brandy-like complexity on top of the base bourbon character.
On the nose, look for dried stone fruit, brandy-soaked oak, and toasted malt, while the palate brings caramel, baking spice, and a subtle grape-forward richness from the Armagnac influence, finishing long and layered. It's best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to let the cask finish fully open up.
For whiskey drinkers who enjoy finished bourbons that borrow character from other spirits and wines, this Old Elk release is a distinctive choice. Shop this Armagnac cask-finished bourbon online at Habits Bottle Shop today.
