ld Elk's Slow Cut™ proofing process enhances the bourbon’s flavors through a patient process where full barrel proof bourbon is cut, then left to rest, and repeated. While traditional proofing takes 24-48 hours, this Slow Cut™ technique, developed over several test periods, takes significantly longer. This intentional time period allows the flavors to marry between stages, until the exact character is achieved, creating an overall smoother bourbon whiskey. Aroma: Sweet vanilla and caramel, clove spice, slight maple, and nutty almond Taste: Maple syrup, almond, raw bran, chocolate, deep wood, and coconut Mouthfeel: Smooth and coating with a lasting flavor AWARDS Gold | 2018 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Silver | 2018 WSWA Tasting Competition 90 Points | 2018 Wine Enthusiast Gold | 2017 Breckenridge Craft Spirits Festival 2016 & 2017 Colorado Distillery of the Year | New York International Spirits Competition
