“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.”

There aren’t many distilleries as innovative and exciting as Bardstown Bourbon Company. The Kentucky-based distillery is all about pushing the boundaries of what a whiskey can be. Its most recent release definitely lives up to those lofty expectations.
Bardstown Cathedral French Oak Bourbon

Bardstown Cathedral French Oak Bourbon is the inaugural launch in that new Distillery Reserve collection. It’s a blend of 100% Kentucky bourbons that were matured between nine and eighteen years. It gets its name because this well-curated blend is finished for fourteen months in 300-year-old French oak from the Bercé Forest in the Loire Valley in France. To put it into perspective, the trees were planted during the reign of Louis XIV (circa 1715). The wood was harvested to restore Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.
