The Pinnacle of the Calumet Farm Line
Single Rack Black is the oldest and highest-proof expression Calumet Farm bottles — the payoff for fifteen slow years in Kentucky oak. The single-rack method is the point: instead of blending barrels from hot top floors and cool bottom ones, Calumet pulls from one center-cut rack where every barrel ages under the same conditions, giving the whiskey a consistency and focus most long-aged bourbons can't claim. At 105 proof and non-chill filtered, it pours deep amber and drinks like the flagship of a serious bourbon program.
Tasting Notes
Oak and wood char lead on the nose, opening with air into dark fruit and sweet corn. The palate is bold — aged oak, baking spice, toasted grain, toffee, and a subtle smoky sweetness. A long, mellow finish settles into sweet tobacco and rye spice with a slightly dry mouthfeel.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a Glencairn is the move for a 15-year, 105-proof bourbon this structured — a few drops of water will open the dark fruit if you want it. It has the proof and oak to carry a high-end Old Fashioned, but this bottle earns its pour neat.
