Calumet Farm 10 Year Bourbon 750ML

Calumet Farm 10 Year Bourbon 750ML is a 100-proof (50% ABV) Kentucky straight bourbon aged for a full decade and bottled non-chill filtered. What distinguishes this expression is its single-rack selection process, drawing from a center-cut rack of 19 barrels chosen for their optimal warehouse position — a deliberate approach that yields pronounced depth and character beyond typical age-stated bourbons.Quick Facts: ABV: 50% (100 Proof)  |  Origin: Kentucky, USA  |  Age: 10 Years  |  Producer: Western Spirits Beverage CompanyProduction & HeritageCalumet Farm borrows its name from the legendary thoroughbred racing dynasty, one of the most storied names in Kentucky horse racing history. The bourbon line is produced by Western Spirits Beverage Company and follows a traditional Kentucky mashbill of 74% corn, 18% rye, and 8% malted barley. The 10 Year expression is crafted in small 50-barrel batches and left non-chill filtered to preserve the full body and texture that a decade of barrel aging develops. The single-rack selection method means barrels are pulled from one specific center-cut rack within a warehouse, where temperature and humidity fluctuations hit a sweet spot for consistent maturation.Tasting NotesAroma: Oak and tannin arrive first, assertive and confident, before giving way to warmer layers of vanilla and caramel. After a few minutes in the glass, the aggressive wood notes soften, letting baking spice and brown sugar emerge underneath.Taste: The entry is bold — rich caramel and toasted honey coat the palate immediately. The mid-palate deepens with charred wood and leather, reflecting the decade of barrel influence. A pronounced rye spice threads through the sweetness, keeping the bourbon from leaning too heavily into dessert territory and providing structural backbone.Finish: Long and oak-driven with a slow fade of baking spice, dried tobacco, and a faint residual sweetness. The non-chill filtration is evident here — the finish carries a slightly oily texture that clings and extends the experience well beyond the final sip.How to Drink Calumet Farm 10 YearAt 100 proof, this bourbon rewards a slow pour neat or with a single large ice cube to gently open the more reserved secondary notes beneath all that oak. A few drops of water can tame the tannin and coax out the caramel and honey layers. For cocktails, the 10-year backbone holds its own: try it in an Old Fashioned, where the bold oak and baking spice stand up beautifully against bitters and sugar; in a Boulevardier, where the aged depth and leather notes complement sweet vermouth and Campari; or in a Kentucky Mule, where the rye-forward spice cuts through ginger beer with authority.Best For
