Old Elk Rye Whiskey is a benchmark for others, but for us it�s an exceptional standard that we�ve achieved. Taste this knock-out rye, made up of 95 percent rye and 5 percent malted barley, and you�ll understand. After distilling and creating over 280 million bottles of world class rye whiskey, Greg Metze decided to put his decades of experience and passion into Old Elk�s Straight Rye Whiskey. The International Whisky Competition named it the Best American Rye Whiskey, but don�t just take their word for it, taste it for yourself.
