Calumet Farm Origin Bourbon Whiskey Centennial Release
100 proof (50% ABV) | Kentucky straight bourbon | Centennial Collection release — Calumet Farm Origin Release Centennial Bourbon is one of six expressions in the Centennial Collection, created for the 100th anniversary of Calumet Farm — the legendary Fayette County, Kentucky thoroughbred farm founded in June 1924, home to two Triple Crown winners and eight Kentucky Derby champions.
Presented in the brand's original bottle, the Origin Release "embodies our foundational values — a refined, luxurious bourbon that honors where it all began." It's built on Calumet Farm's signature high-rye mash bill (74% corn, 18% rye, 8% malted barley), produced by Western Spirits with barrels sourced from Barton Distillery (1792). While the brand hasn't published tasting notes for this expression, that high-rye recipe points to a classic profile: sweet corn up front, lively rye spice through the middle, and oak rounding out the finish. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.
Tasting notes
No brand-issued tasting notes exist for the Origin Release specifically. Expect the hallmarks of its 74/18/8 high-rye mash bill at a full 100 proof: corn sweetness, assertive rye spice, and structured oak — a bold, refined pour.
