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

Dark fruit and plum character similar to Sam Houston, with slightly more pronounced ethanol presence and bite.

Palate

More assertive spice than the Sam Houston with reduced sweetness. Slightly less sugar plum character, more complexity from spice interplay.

Finish

Faint bitter note on the back end adds complexity, shorter and less sweet than the Sam Houston.

Enjoyable
A solid 15-year expression with more assertive spice and complexity, though the bitter finish and reduced sweetness make it less approachable than its counterpart.
