Day 24

Calumet Farm
16 Year Bourbon

Style: 19-barrel batch of Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Mashbills: 74% Corn, 18% Rye, 8% Malted Barley (in Bardstown, KY)

Aged: 16 years

Proof: 106

Cost: $114.99 (MSRP $150)

Why I chose it: It felt appropriate to finish the calendar with our most aged Kentucky Straight Bourbon to pair alongside Santa's cookies and milk. I received my first bottle of Calumet Farm from my hardworking and generous realtor (16-year, different batch). It is being enjoyed from its home on my top shelf and I thought this bottle would be a fitting end to the advent journey. 24 brands, 24 (well 26) participants, and 24 days later, it felt like we sprinted a marathon. We'll do some surveys and have a recap post to follow, but I'll preliminarily call 2023 a success; Merry Christmas!
