Barrel Information:Bourbonfinds 2024 Barrel #18Nickname: Barrel Was FullCompany: Old ElkProduct: Wheated Bourbon - Cask StrengthAge: 7.5 yearsProof: 121.3Source: MGPMashbill: 51% Corn, 45% Wheat, 4% Malted BarleyTasting Notes: This is not a “one year membership in the Jelly of the Month Club”, this is a bottle dripping with holiday flavors from start to finish.  This wheated bourbon came in just under 8 years and at 121.3 proof. The nose is full of buttery toffee, roasted nuts, cinnamon and vanilla. As I dove in I got an initial dark chocolate note followed by more toffee and cream on the palate. It made me instantly think of a Skor candy bar. The palate also has subtle heat and oak sweetness that comes through. The finish has nice baking spice heat that lingers forever! This is one of the longer finishes I have experienced this year! Cheers to those lucky enough to grab this special release! I have a feeling this will move quickly, so be ready Friday at 12:30 pm EST to get the release
