The Calumet Farm name comes from the legendary Kentucky thoroughbred farm founded in 1924, home to two Triple Crown winners and eight Kentucky Derby champions. Western Spirits bottles the bourbon in Bardstown, and among bourbons at this price, a single-rack 12-year-old at under 3,500 bottles per batch is a genuine find for collectors and slow-sip drinkers alike.
