Calumet Farm 10 Year Old is a non-chill filtered Kentucky straight bourbon crafted in 50-barrel batches from a traditional high-rye mash bill and bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV).
It sits firmly at the centre of Calumet Farm's Legacy Series, showcasing how the high-rye mash bill of 74% corn, 18% rye and 8% malted barley develops over time, with traditional flavours and added depth on both the nose and the finish. The bourbon is distilled and aged in Kentucky, and this 10 Year Old honours the famous thoroughbred sire Bull Lea, one of the legends of Calumet Farm's racing history.
It pours deep red and amber with golden highlights. Bold oak and tannin lead the nose, with softer notes of caramel and vanilla appearing after a short rest. The taste brings bold, traditional flavours of caramel, leather, wood char and toasted honey, and robust flavours are punctuated by a captivating finish of oak and soft baking spice.
With its racing heritage, it makes a handsome gift for bourbon and horse racing fans.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
