Calumet Small Batch 17 & 7 Year Straight Bourbon is a unique Kentucky bourbon that masterfully blends barrels aged 17 years with 7-year barrels, creating a complex whiskey that balances mature oak depth with youthful vibrancy. This small batch expression delivers exceptional value for an age-statement bourbon, offering the concentrated flavors of long-aged whiskey softened by fresher, fruit-forward components.
Calumet Farm in Lexington, Kentucky is legendary as a thoroughbred breeding operation — home to eight Kentucky Derby winners — but their distillery has quietly built a reputation for patient, estate-driven bourbon production. This distinctive blending approach allows the concentrated oak and dried fruit character of the 17-year barrels to be enhanced and brightened by the younger component. At pbexpressliquor.com, we appreciate how this technique creates a bourbon that drinks well above its price point, offering complexity typically found in much more expensive bottles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Calumet Small Batch different from other bourbons?
This bourbon uniquely blends 17-year and 7-year barrels, creating complexity that balances mature oak depth with youthful fruit character. The Calumet Farm heritage adds distinction — this distillery sits on the same grounds as the legendary thoroughbred operation that produced eight Kentucky Derby winners.
How should I drink Calumet Small Batch Bourbon?
This bourbon shines neat or with a splash of water to open up the complex flavors. The 90-proof strength makes it approachable for sipping, while the depth from the 17-year component rewards slow contemplation. It also makes excellent Old Fashioneds and Manhattans.
Is this bourbon worth the price compared to other age-statement whiskeys?
Absolutely — age-statement bourbons, especially those with components aged 17 years, typically cost significantly more. This offers exceptional value for the complexity and maturation you're getting, making it an excellent entry point into premium aged bourbon.
What does "small batch" mean for Calumet bourbon?
Small batch indicates this bourbon is made from a limited number of carefully selected barrels, allowing for greater quality control and consistency. The blending of specific 17-year and 7-year barrels creates a unique flavor profile that couldn't be achieved with larger production runs.
How does this compare to other Kentucky straight bourbons?
The dual-age approach sets this apart from single-age bourbons. If you enjoy Elijah Craig or Knob Creek, you'll appreciate this bourbon's oak complexity, while the younger component adds a brightness similar to what you'd find in Maker's Mark or Woodford Reserve.
