Description
Calumet 10 Year Bourbon, hailing from the heart of Kentucky, embodies the elegance and depth that a decade of careful aging can impart. With an ABV of 46.0%, this small-batch bourbon offers a robust yet smooth experience that captures the essence of traditional American whiskey craftsmanship. Expect harmonious layers of flavor where the natural sweetness of the corn is complemented by the subtle smokiness introduced during its long sojourn in charred oak barrels. The bourbon's nuanced profile reveals whispers of vanilla and spice, creating a medley that unfolds beautifully on the palate. To appreciate the full spectrum of flavors in Calumet 10 Year, it is best enjoyed neat in a Glencairn glass, which allows for optimal nosing and savoring of its aromatic qualities. The glass's unique shape concentrates the rich scents, allowing enthusiasts to fully immerse themselves in the bourbon's complex bouquet. For those who prefer a slightly milder sip, a splash of water can open up additional layers, softening the edges and lending a smoother mouthfeel without losing the whiskey's inherent character. While Calumet 10 Year is an excellent choice for a variety of cocktails, it truly shines in a classic Old Fashioned, where its depth of flavor provides a sturdy foundation that complements the bitters and citrus accents. Alternatively, a Manhattan crafted with this bourbon will benefit from its rich, caramel undertones and subtle spice, resulting in a cocktail that's both balanced and bold. Whether you're enjoying a quiet moment or crafting an exceptional cocktail, Calumet 10 Year Bourbon stands as a testament to time-honored methods and the art of fine whiskey-making.

First bottle of Calumet 10 didnt last more than a week at my place. Enjoyed it, maybe a touch hotter than I wanted but went down easy after dinner all week.
