A&B store pick. Old Elk has gotten some press for its wheated profile being a poor man's Pappy. I would say that is probably some over praise, but was interested to give this one a try in any case.
Nose is definitely a sweet wheat presence. It may sound odd, but it's almost sweet Sunday morning bakery stuff here.
First sip has a really nice full presence. Corn mash, vanilla, and maybe a touch of honey on the edges. Parts of this dram almost conjure up sweet honey glazed corn muffins. The finish brings a little heat that catches you a bit off guard given the general smooth profile on the front end.
Overall I find this to be a really nice pour. Not sure it is banging down the next great pappy door, but still very nice.
