Calumet Farm Single Rack Black 14 Years Bourbon Whiskey 750 ML

Calumet Farm Single Rack Black 14 Years Old Bourbon Whiskey represents both the prestigious nature and hard-earned quality of a premium Northern Kentucky straight bourbon. It is painstakingly crafted from extremely small batches of 19 barrels. All barrels used are aged in a single, center cut rack from the ideal maturation location and conditions inside the rick house. The result of this bourbon craftsmanship is a bold, vigorous and luxurious Kentucky bourbon whiskey. This expression of the Calumet Farm Bourbon family is a true convergence of craftsmanship and flavor. It is Non-Chill Filtered for added depth of character and color.

Part of the Calumet line up focuses upon its higher end Single Rack Black series, and it is from this a new 14 year old American whiskey has debuted. The new Calumet Farm Single Rack Black 14 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey is typical of the Single Rack Black line up in that it heralds from “extremely small batches of just 19 barrels” that are aged “in a single, center cut rack from the ideal maturation location and conditions inside the rick house.” Originally barreled in March 2006, it has a mash bill of 74% corn, 18% rye and 8% malted barley and is non-chill filtered.

Calumet Farm 14 Years Old Single Rack Black Bourbon Whiskey is pulled from a single rack in the warehouse. The entire first run is only nineteen barrels. The mash bill is 74% corn, 18% rye, and 8% malted barley. And after fourteen years of pristine aging, it would be a shame to chill filter it or add an artificial coloring, so they do not do it. Instead, they bottle it at 48.1% ABV so you can taste every lovely drop.

Color: Deep, warm amber throughout with shimmering highlights of copper and sun-yellow

Nose: Heavy notes of oak and molasses are rolled back as light scents of fresh corn, wood sugars, field grass, ripe plum and hay present.

Taste: Smooth flavors of oak and char subside to reveal complex sensations of toasted grains, English toffee, granola clusters, vanilla flan and toasted oak.
