Old Elk Cognac Finish Bourbon

Old Elk Cognac Cask Finish Bourbon is a luxurious fusion of American bourbon tradition and Old World refinement. Crafted using Old Elk’s signature high-malt mash bill, this limited-release whiskey is first aged in new American oak, then finished in French Cognac barrels to unlock a whole new layer of complexity. The result is a smooth, fruit-forward bourbon that blends deep caramel and spice with elegant notes of dried fruit, honey, and toasted oak.

Every element of this bottle reflects Old Elk’s slow-cut proofing process and meticulous finishing approach. The Cognac influence adds rich texture and sophistication without overpowering the bourbon’s core identity—making it a standout pour for collectors and adventurous whiskey drinkers alike.
