The Old Elk Master’s Blend series creates new whiskey experiences by bringing together our deep inventory of bourbon, rye and other whiskeys with a commitment to thoughtful, boundary-pushing blending. These releases have no pre-existing parallels. Each unique offering is tested, tasted and refined to the point of perfection, a true expression of the alchemy that is only possible at a place like Old Elk. Master’s Blend bottles are perfect for collecting, though we prefer them open.

BLENDS WITHOUT BOUNDARIES

Blending the best is harder than it looks. At a distillery like Old Elk, where every barrel is already remarkable, finding those that rise even further above our expectations can be a true challenge. Once selected, each barrel must be handled with care and with a full understanding of the unique qualities it will contribute to the final blend. A little more of one component or a little less of another can shift the entire balance of the whiskey.

This level of blending calls for deep experience, thoughtful skill and a practiced palate that can recognize what makes a barrel special and how its character can be woven into something greater. It is a creative and technical process that relies on both expertise and imagination, bringing many layers of flavorful whiskey together into a cohesive and intricate whole, where each component brings out the best in the others.

The Master’s Blend series showcases this approach and shares the results with whiskey lovers everywhere. By bringing entirely new flavors to the table, blends like Double Wheat and Four Grain highlight the impact of thoughtful blending and celebrate what becomes possible when outstanding whiskey meets exceptional craft.

Master’s Blend offerings are designed for whiskey lovers who seek novel flavors and unforgettable tasting experiences. Each release in the series is a limited edition, bottled at high proof and presented in our custom bottle with an information-rich label. The Master’s Blend name signifies the highest level of quality and a commitment to creating blends that stand apart.
