Explore three distinct expressions of mature American whiskey with the Old Elk 10 Year Whiskey Series Bundle. This premium three-bottle collection brings together Old Elk 10 Year Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Old Elk 10 Year Straight Wheated Bourbon Whiskey, and Old Elk 10 Year Straight Wheat Whiskey, offering a side-by-side look at how different grain profiles develop after a full decade of maturation.
The 10 Year Straight Bourbon Whiskey delivers the richest traditional bourbon character of the set, combining caramel, vanilla, seasoned oak, dark fruit, baking spice, and a full-bodied finish. Bottled at 105 proof, it provides excellent structure and mature barrel depth.
The 10 Year Straight Wheated Bourbon Whiskey replaces rye’s sharper spice with wheat’s softer influence, creating a smoother profile of brown sugar, vanilla cream, baked fruit, honey, cinnamon, and polished oak. Its 103-proof presentation maintains richness while highlighting the rounded sweetness associated with wheated bourbon.
Completing the trio, the 10 Year Straight Wheat Whiskey places wheat at the center of the mash bill. Expect a delicate yet layered profile with honeyed grain, caramel, vanilla, orchard fruit, toasted pastry, and gentle oak spice. Also bottled at 103 proof, it offers a distinctive contrast to the two bourbon expressions.
Together, these three bottles create an excellent guided tasting experience for whiskey enthusiasts interested in grain composition, maturation, and Old Elk’s aged whiskey portfolio. The bundle is ideal for collectors, premium gifting, whiskey clubs, home-bar displays, milestone celebrations, and comparative tastings.

How to Enjoy
For a comparative tasting, begin with the Straight Wheat Whiskey, continue with the Wheated Bourbon, and finish with the Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This order moves from softer grain sweetness toward deeper caramel, oak, and bourbon spice.
Serve each whiskey neat in separate tasting glasses and allow the pours to rest briefly. Add a few drops of water to reveal additional fruit, vanilla, caramel, and oak. Each expression can also be enjoyed over a large cube or used in premium cocktails such as an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Boulevardier, or Whiskey Sour.
