Old Elk Slow Cut Blended Straight Bourbon is an American whiskey built around straight bourbon whiskey and bottled at a moderate 44% ABV. For a new drinker, expect a style that aims to be approachable while still showing the classic bourbon mix of sweetness, oak, and spice.
As a blended straight bourbon, it sits within the bourbon family but is composed by blending straight bourbons rather than coming from a single straight bourbon release. That usually means a rounded, balanced profile rather than an aggressively bold one.
