This is an older presentation of the Calumet Farm bottled at an age statement that is no longer part of the portfolio. William Monroe Wright established Calumet Farm in 1924 on a small farm in Lexington, Kentucky. After Wright’s death in 1933 his son Warren began to move the farm’s business toward Thoroughbred racing. After developing the farm’s stock and pedigree for a short time the Wrights hire famed horse trainer Ben A. Jones. Through dedication passion and hard work the farm began an unparalleled ascent eventually topping the horse racing world. This rise to glory would cement Calumet Farm as one of the most dominant names in horse racing history... and now, Bourbon! 47% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... Grainy and floral on the nose, with aromas of bananas Foster, pine resin, cardamom, lemon, iced tea, tart blackberries, and nougat. Kicky black pepper and cinnamon smooth out with a touch of water, yielding banana Popsicle, lemon bars, roasted pistachios, and cigar wrapper. A short finish with toasted oak, pecans, and nougat. 86 points - whiskyadvocate.com, reviewed by: Susannah Skiver Barton 2019
