First time trying and a brand new cracked bottle. Enjoying neat. Nose - graham crackers and that golden honey cookie smell instantly come to mind. Also getting some fruity flavors of citrus and dark cherries along with cinnamon. Taste - starts very rich and full with a nice influence of cocoa and honey with a mix of graham crackers. The finish comes in quick which is pretty tart and cinnamon which dries out the tongue. Overall - both bottles of old elk I have tried I have enjoyed. This is a nice addition to their already growing brand. Great bottle and label, the nose is delicious, bourbon is good but ends a bit too tart for my liking. Nonetheless a good bourbon
