Calumet Farm Single Rack Black 15 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey epitomizes the storied legacy of one of Kentucky's most celebrated horse farms. Established in 1924, Calumet Farm rose to prominence through its unwavering dedication to thoroughbred racing, producing multiple Triple Crown winners and establishing an illustrious reputation. This bourbon pays homage to that heritage, encapsulating the meticulous craftsmanship and patience that have characterized the farm's storied history. Each bottle reflects the brand's commitment to quality, derived from a process that champions traditional methods and the unique environmental conditions of Bardstown, Kentucky.
This exceptional bourbon is crafted from a mash bill of 74% corn, 18% rye, and 8% malted barley, carefully aged for 15 years in a single, center-cut rack within the rickhouse. This distinctive aging process ensures that each barrel is imbued with the depth of flavor and complexity that long maturation provides. With a robust proof of 105 (52.5% ABV) and a non-chill filtered approach, it delivers an unparalleled drinking experience that showcases the artistry of bourbon making. The deep amber hue, accented with copper highlights, hints at the richness that lies within.

Finish: The finish is a lingering embrace, mellowing into delightful notes of sweet tobacco and rye, concluding with a slightly dry mouthfeel that beckons for another sip.
