Calumet Farm 16 Year Single Rack Black Bourbon

Nose was sweet smelling. Palate is smooth the whole way through but not super powerful on flavor. Some oak in there. Not stands out for notes.

Nose: cherries, molassses, oak Palate: oak, brown sugar, fruity Finish: tannic, lingering brown sugar sweetness Nice oaky bourbon

I thoroughly enjoyed this bourbon. I found it on clearance below retail and I went back and purchased a second bottle. It’s everything you want in a 15+ age statement bourbon. Not to oaky, but well balanced.

Nose: smells sweet, dark cherry with vanilla, there’s a whiff of a cherry pie but with like brown sugar or something. Then there’s also this tobacco note too, man, it’s a good nose! Pallet: does not disappoint, tobacco, sweet oak, dark caramel, aged vanilla, cherry, chocolate. It’s good, the mouth feel is good not crazy but good. Sweetness is great, not too sweet but definitely there with some spice mid to back pallet. Finish: good and long, I almost feel like I just smoked a pipe. That tobacco/smoke and oak is there and really good and balanced with vanilla and baking spice.

aroma: caramel, vanilla. Taste - vanilla, cinnamon, apple? You feel the heat. Tiny bit smoky. Really good.
