Calumet Farm Kentucky Straight Bourbon 18 Year Old is a limited centennial release from Western Spirits Beverage Company, produced using barrels sourced from Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. It uses a mash bill of 74% corn, 18% rye and 8% malted barley, is bottled at cask strength (59% ABV / 118 proof) and is non-chill filtered. It retails for around $499 and is presented in a trophy decanter to mark the 100th anniversary of Calumet Farm.
One of my top three notes in bourbon – cherry cola – shows up on my tongue (the other two are blackberry and butterscotch, fyi). What a great way to start of the palate.
