New Owners, New Facilities And A New Chapter For Old Elk

Old Elk’s next chapter is a significant one. The Fort Collins, CO-based company built its brand on the expertise of a distilling legend, products made with unique mash bills, and a healthy dose of Rocky Mountain charm. As a non-distilling producer (NDP), Old Elk historically relied on whiskey produced by their distilling partners. In 2025, Middle West Spirits acquired Old Elk Distillery and its assets. As a long-time contract producer, Middle West is primed to optimize and scale Old Elk for the next generation of American whiskey consumers.
