“The spirit maintains its place as a core whiskey in our lineup, with a price point that makes it more accessible,” Melinda Maddox, Master Blender at Old Elk Distillery, said in a press release.

“We can’t wait to hear the bartenders’ community feedback about the latest iteration of Slow Cut Blended Straight and see how it plays into their creativity in cocktails.”

Old Elk Slow Cut Blended Straight Bourbon begins with a base of the brand’s award-winning custom high-malt straight bourbon mash that’s matured between four and seven years. It’s blended with select Old Elk straight bourbons to create a nuanced, memorable blended whiskey worth stocking on your home bar.

“At Old Elk, we are excited to provide our award-winning bourbon at a more affordable price that doesn’t sacrifice on the caliber of the spirit. Now we are delivering on the quality of our whiskies for the everyday occasion,” Luis Gonzalez, CEO of Old Elk, said in a press release.

“The voice of our customers has always been our focus. 2025 is going to be another big year for Old Elk and we are excited for all of our upcoming releases that we know whiskey enthusiasts will be pleased with.”
