Old Elk Small Batch Sour Mash Reserve Batch #2 750 ml

Old Elk Small Batch Sour Mash Reserve Batch No. 2 represents the pinnacle of precision blending and patience from Master Distiller Greg Metze and the Old Elk Distillery team. This limited-edition bourbon captures the timeless art of sour mash fermentation, creating a whiskey that’s rich in character, balance, and depth. By reusing a portion of the previous batch’s mash in each new fermentation, Old Elk achieves remarkable consistency while enhancing flavor complexity across every barrel.

Bottled at 107.1 proof, this second batch in the Sour Mash Reserve series amplifies Old Elk’s signature smoothness with a deep, full-bodied texture and elevated spice profile. Each sip showcases the harmony of sweet corn, bold rye, and malted barley crafted to deliver warmth, structure, and lasting refinement.
