Old Elk just shipped its first releases under new ownership: a straight bourbon, a straight wheat whiskey, and a wheated bourbon, all aged ten years, all priced at $69.99. That's $20 to $80 below what comparable 10-year bourbons usually run. Also today: a distributor's bankruptcy reshuffles shelves in 26 states, and a Texas rye pre-sale won't deliver until 2028.
