Calumet Farm 14 Year Single Rack Black Bourbon

Not a lot of depth to this for a 14 year. Vanilla up front, no real finish very light tasting. Do not recommend for the price.

Wonderful nose of cinnamon, honeysuckle and vanilla. Dried cherry and other stone fruit. Dried fruit and coffee notes on the pallet. Long and expansive finish—high acid gives high heat finish that lingers!

I’m kind of surprised by the lower reviews on this one, maybe because of the price point? I will say it is priced a little high in my opinion but I try not to let that affect my reviews. I didn’t get the cherry others mentioned, I kind of found it fairly buttery. I do believe it was a little alcohol forward considering the lower proof.

Nose: Neat: vanilla, cherry, caramel. Little oaky. Really nice nose Water: cherry and red licorice predominate (rye influence?) Palate: Neat: oaky, caramel, smooth, faint spice Water: more cherry, red licorice like the nose. Very delicious. Body: Neat: medium Water: light to medium Finish: Neat: medium, lingering smoky caramel Water: medium short. Not enough lingering flavor but what does linger is delicious. Note: a taster from Jared. About 2oz. First taste was very nice. Very smooth too no burn. This is a very nice smooth cherry dominate sweet vanilla light caramel bourbon.

Little too boozy

Nose: slight banana, oak, brown sugar, rye spice, cinnamon, clove, cardamom. A slight astringency in the nose. Palate: banana pudding, very ripe bananas with a little pungent smell to them, oak and rye spice, followed by baking spices. Mouth feel is nice... a little thin and a little oily. Not much ethanol burn as expected at this proof. Finish: lingered longer than I expected. A nice finish of oak and rye spice. I would consider buying another bottle, but it isn’t high on my radar at the cost.
