Calumet Farm Bottled in Bond Bourbon Whiskey Centennial Release
Calumet Farm Bottled in Bond Bourbon Whiskey Centennial Release is a 100-proof (50% ABV) Kentucky straight bourbon, 750mL, aged a minimum of four years in new oak and bottled uncut at the legally mandated bottled-in-bond strength. Released for the farm's 100th anniversary, it's available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Calumet Farm began as a Thoroughbred breeding and racing operation in 1924 — two Triple Crown winners, eight Kentucky Derby winners — and its bourbon program honors that pedigree. The Bottled-in-Bond Centennial release is one of six expressions in the 2025 Centennial Collection, and the purist's pick of the lineup: federal bonding standards mean it comes from one distilling season, one distillery, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, with nothing altered from its original condition. It's non-chill filtered for maximum texture.
Tasting notes: With no brand-published notes for this specific expression, expect classic bottled-in-bond Kentucky character — caramel, vanilla bean, and toasted oak with spice from the high-rye style Calumet favors. Pour it neat to taste the bourbon exactly as the bonded warehouse held it.
Why buy: Bottled-in-bond is the original American quality guarantee, and this centennial release wraps it in one of bourbon's most storied anniversaries. At 100 proof it's the workhorse of the Centennial Collection — drink it, while the decanter siblings sit on the shelf. More from the farm at Calumet Farm at Del Mesa Liquor.
