Tastes

Spicy Rye, very good.

Excellent bourbon

Excellent spicy rye

It starts off on thin notes of oak and vanilla. Sitting with the whiskey longer, peppercorn and rye spice appear along with a more oak notes. A hint of brown sugar tries to add a bit of balance, lower proof (86) probably kill the deeper flavors. No bite and very smooth though. Calumet Farm Small Batch Bourbon tries to differentiate itself in the marketplace by using a 15 year bourbon in their small batch blend. It’s prominently stated on the front of the bottle before its 8 year old bourbon component. This would lead one to believe that the blend contains a large amount of 15 year old bourbon. However, the sip suggests otherwise. Average at best and cost on the higher side of an average bourbon. Guaranteed to be mainly 8 yr old with a smattering of 15 yr old.

Excellent go to daily bourbon. Popularity has made it harder to find used to be able to pick up for $30 almost anywhere, good luck now. Spicy, smooth, light bite, earthy solid boutbon.

Good bourbon smooth very little bite, good neat or with a couple ice cubes. Definitely recommend and will buy again.

Ummmmm nope. I should have given it a 0.5 but I can't. No flavor even moonshine has more flavor. Stick with beer Rogue.
