Calumet Farm 15-Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
105 proof 15 years Bourbon Western Spirits Bowling Green, KY $129 74% corn, 18% rye, 8% malted barley
Nose

Same whiskey profile as the 14-year with noticeably more oakiness from the extra year in barrel.

Palate

Deep caramel and dark fruit with bold cracked pepper spice and some pucker factor on the back; still getting Dr. Pepper and peanut notes with continued nuttiness.

Finish

More drying than the 14-year with increased spice hanging on.

Above average
A very good expression that hits a sweet spot with elevated proof and an extra year of maturation, delivering bold spice and caramel with solid bourbon character.
