Old Elk 10-Year Single Barrel Bourbon — A Hammer & A Dream: Padrón Edition

The Old Elk 10-Year Single Barrel Bourbon — A Hammer & A Dream: Padrón Edition is a rare and evocative expression crafted for the aficionado who appreciates heritage, boldness, and refinement in equal measure. Bottled at 115.6 proof and aged a full decade, this single barrel selection draws deep inspiration from the legacy of Padrón cigars, translating their earthy elegance into a stunning bourbon that drinks like a reverent nod to smoky lounges and midnight reflections.

On the nose, it captivates instantly with rich aromas of antique oak, burnt sugar, vanilla bean, and sun-dried tobacco leaf—a scent reminiscent of a finely aged cigar humidor. Nuanced layers of leather, toasted walnut, and fig jam unfold, inviting a deeper inhale of its complex structure.

The palate delivers a commanding presence, balancing power with precision. Notes of toffee, espresso crema, charred oak, and spiced dark chocolate surge forward, while the Padrón influence emerges mid-palate through earthy cocoa, crushed peppercorn, and subtle cayenne warmth. This bourbon’s high-proof backbone is softened by its malted barley base, bringing out a creamy, almost savory sweetness.

The finish is long, dry, and deeply expressive—echoes of cigar wrapper, leathered oak, and cinnamon bark leave a lasting impression that mirrors the satisfaction of a Padrón Rare Finds "A Hammer & A Dream" Maduro’s final draw.
