Calumet Farm 12 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Calumet Farm 12 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a mature Kentucky bourbon crafted from extremely small 19-barrel batches and aged for a full 12 years to develop a rich profile of oak, caramel, spice, and vanilla. Each batch yields fewer than 3,500 bottles, with every bottle individually numbered.

This is where age begins to matter.

Twelve years in Kentucky rickhouses allows the bourbon to develop deeper oak influence, richer caramel notes, and a more structured finish while maintaining the balance that has made Calumet Farm one of the most recognized names in premium sourced bourbon. Unlike many younger bourbons that lean heavily on sweetness, the 12 Year delivers maturity, complexity, and a traditional Kentucky profile that rewards slow sipping.

Why Buy Calumet Farm 12 Year Bourbon

You're getting:

• A fully matured 12-year Kentucky straight bourbon
• Extremely small 19-barrel batch production
• Individually numbered bottles
• A balanced profile of oak, caramel, spice, and vanilla
• One of Calumet Farm's most sought-after age-stated releases
• A bourbon built for sipping rather than mixing

For bourbon drinkers looking to step into older Kentucky whiskey without entering ultra-premium pricing territory, the 12 Year often represents one of the strongest values in the Calumet lineup.

What Makes This Bourbon Different

Age alone doesn't create a great bourbon.

The difference here is the combination of age and barrel selection.

Calumet Farm's 12 Year is produced from carefully selected barrels aged in ideal rack locations and blended in exceptionally small batches. The additional years in oak create greater depth, richer caramelization, and more developed spice characteristics while preserving balance and drinkability.

The result is a bourbon that feels older, richer, and more refined than many standard shelf offerings.
