Calumet Farm Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey
Calumet Farm Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey is a Kentucky straight bourbon bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV) in a 750mL bottle — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.

Named for Thoroughbred Royalty
Calumet Farm of Lexington, Kentucky, is thoroughbred racing legend — eight Kentucky Derby winners and two Triple Crowns (Whirlaway in 1941, Citation in 1948) — and the bottle wears the stable's devil's-red-and-blue silks. The whiskey is owned by Western Spirits Beverage Company and built from sourced Kentucky stocks, blended in small 50-barrel batches so each release carries real cask character. Official tasting notes promise deep mahogany color with bright honey highlights, caramel and butterscotch on the nose, banana bread and light brown sugar with a smokey char on the palate, and a delicate, lingering sweet finish.

Tasting Notes
Caramel and butterscotch lead the nose over deep mahogany color. The palate brings banana bread, light brown sugar and a smokey char accent from the #4 barrels; the finish is delicate, sweet and round, lingering long.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a Glencairn to catch the old-stock depth, or as the backbone of an Old Fashioned. This is also a natural Kentucky Derby party bottle — racing fans will get the silks reference immediately.
