Calumet Farm Single Rack Black 16 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a rare, premium expression from Calumet Farm, a historic thoroughbred horse farm and distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. This expression is a tribute to Citation, the legendary champion racehorse, embodying the dedication and patience required to craft an exceptional whiskey. Aged 16 years in new charred American oak barrels, this bourbon is bottled at 106 proof (53% ABV) and is non-chill filtered to preserve its full character and natural color.

The mash bill consists of 74% corn, 18% rye, and 8% malted barley, yielding a bold yet balanced profile. The color is a deep mahogany with dark red shadows and golden highlights. On the nose, woody char and smoke give way to toasted almonds and fresh hay, with further breathing revealing citrus, orange, floral, and cherry notes. The palate delivers saturated oak and warm rye spice alongside cherry, dark fruit, and baking spice, while the finish offers toasted grains, smokiness, and mellowing wood sugars with hints of fresh bread and toasted toffee. Each batch is drawn from a single center-cut rack in the rickhouse, ensuring consistent barrel aging conditions across the 19-barrel release.
