Each release is a 19-barrel batch drawn from a single, centre-cut rack inside the rickhouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bourbon is a tribute to Calumet Farm, the legendary Lexington thoroughbred farm whose horses won the Kentucky Derby a record number of times, and to the patience it takes to create a champion. Non-chill filtering preserves added depth of character and colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeep mahogany with dark red shadows, it opens with woody char and smoke that subside to toasted almonds and fresh-cut summer hay, then citrus, orange, dark florals and cherry as it breathes. The palate brings saturated oak and warm rye spice, then cherries, dark fruits, baking spice, fresh-baked bread and toasted toffee, and the finish is lighter than expected, with toasted grains and gentle smoke. Drinkhacker scored it 9.5 out of 10.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handsome bottle with its gold racing emblem makes it a fine gift for bourbon and racing fans alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLet it breathe in the glass for a few minutes before sipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourbon 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Woody char, smoke, toasted almond, hay, citrus and cherry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Saturated oak, rye spice, cherries, dark fruit and toffee.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lighter than expected, with toasted grains and gentle smoke.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calumet Farm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, non-chill-filtered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Rack Black, 19-barrel batch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 106 proof (53% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e New charred American oak, single centre-cut rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat after a few minutes of breathing.
