Calumet Farm 12 Years Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 102 Proof (750ml) *

Kentucky straight bourbon aged for 12 years arrives here at 102 proof from Calumet Farm, a bourbon producer with deep roots in the Commonwealth. The spirit is built on the grain-forward foundation that defines the category, at least 51% corn, aged in new charred oak, and this particular expression carries the weight of over a decade in the barrel.

Twelve years of aging typically yields a bourbon with rounded edges and developed complexity: expect the vanilla and caramel notes that oak maturation brings, likely tempered by some deeper spice and wood character that comes with extended time in wood. At this proof, it carries enough structure to hold up neat or in a rocks glass, though water or a single large cube will open the spirit further and reveal its softer side.
