Distillery Information

The marketing spiel tells a tale about the owner of Calumet Baking Powder who in 1924 established a farm to breed horses. Over the years the farm took home eight Kentucky Derbies and two Triple Crowns. In reality, this is another sourced whiskey from an undisclosed distillery put in a pretty bottle.

Each very small batch (less than 50 barrels) of Calumet Farm 8 Year Old Bourbon is crafted from hand-selected barrels of premium Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

Nose:  A full, rich aroma of aged oak with deep undertones of vanilla

Taste:  A hint of vanilla and fruit upfront rolls into soft notes of white pepper and a full woody taste

Finish:  A balanced sweetness lingers as a rich yet subtle caramel flavor fades away warming the entire palate as it retreats

The honor the legacy of Calumet Farm and its second Triple Crown-winning horse, this exquisite bourbon has been crafted with the same passion and dedication that lead Citation to victory.
