Calumet Farm 15 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
105 proof 15 years Bourbon Barton Bardstown, KY $105 74% corn, 18% rye, 8% malted barley
Nose

Deep dark fruit with syrupy character similar to its sibling, though with more pronounced ethanol presence and a subtle bite.

Palate

Elevated spice profile with complex dried fruit character, but marked by a notable bitter note on the back end that distinguishes this blend.

Finish

Spice-forward finish with a lingering bitterness that prevents the sweetness from fully resolving.

Above average
A complex and spice-driven 15-year-old expression with mature character, though the bitter back-end note limits its overall appeal compared to similarly-aged offerings.
