Calumet Farm Single Rack Black Bourbon

Horses & Leather

What’s more Kentucky than bourbon and horse-racing? Calumet Farm has married the two. With a lengthy history of horse-racing, they relatively recently started sourcing whiskey. We’ve discussed single barrel whiskey already but this Single Rack Black expression is 19 bottles chosen from one rickhouse rack. The nose is rather modest with hints of vanilla, spice and leather but on the palate, this is bold. Still vanilla but the spice of the rye is present along with leather and dark chocolate and a deep bitterness from the barrel. Overall, it’s a classic bourbon without much sweetness.
