Old Elk Wheater Bourbon (Lock & K(e)y Whatever the Wheater microbatch)

The aroma begins powerfully with toasted oak, peanut butter, smoke, smooth vanilla, and brown sugar. It's quite rich and distinct from typical wheated bourbons. The taste delivers a strong initial wave of baking spices, then toasted oak, with peanut butter appearing afterward. It has a slight dryness, and with subsequent sips, the peanut butter flavor intensifies. This is a robust and substantial whiskey, presenting simple yet potent flavors. Exceptionally enjoyable for a zesty spice kick. The finish is long and spicy, featuring a persistent dry oak that gradually fades, accompanied by a hint of nuttiness.
