Bourbon Lens Closing Thoughts
Calumet Farm 14 year old bourbon is a pour that I am glad I revisited. The price point holds up for the value of the bourbon you have. I haven’t had this bottle in a while and it isn’t going to last long as I enjoyed a second pour while writing this review!
About Calumet Farm
William Monroe Wright established Calumet Farm in 1924 on a small farm in Lexington, Ky. After Wright’s death in 1933 his son Warren began to move the farm’s business toward Thoroughbred racing. After developing the farm’s stock and pedigree for a short time the Wrights hire famed horse trainer Ben A. Jones. Through dedication passion and hard work the farm began an unparalleled ascent eventually topping the horse racing world. This rise to glory would cement Calumet Farm as one of the most dominant names in horse racing history. Over the decades that came the farm produced 2 Triple Crown winners, 8 Kentucky Derby winners and 8 Preakness winners. Calumet Farm is proud to have 11 horses in the National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame.
