Description
Calumet Farm 12 Year Old is a Kentucky straight bourbon from hand-selected barrels aged 12 years at Calumet Farm — built from a traditional mash bill of 74% corn, 18% rye, and 8% malted barley and bottled at 102 proof, presenting the mature oak, rye spice, and deep caramel character that only extended Kentucky warehouse aging produces.
Calumet Farm in Versailles, Kentucky is one of America’s most celebrated thoroughbred horse farms, with an eight-time Kentucky Derby winner’s record. The whiskey program draws on the farm’s deep agricultural heritage — hand-selected barrel aging in traditional Kentucky rickhouses producing an expression that prioritizes genuine maturity over volume or efficiency. At 102 proof and 12 years, the bourbon offers the kind of concentrated character that makes it equally appropriate for neat sipping and as the anchor of a premium Old Fashioned.
