I love this bottle so much that I decided to look up reviews on YT which I don’t typically do. Your review is the only one of about a dozen that gives this pour the credit it deserves. On one hand, I’m a bit surprised that there is no hype around this bottle, on the other hand, I’m greatful I can still find it on the shelves. Cheers.
I have picked up 2 bottles of the 14 year at $104.00 each. I recently bought a bottle of the 15 year for $122.00. That was a Birthday present to myself and for me is a lot to pay for a bottle of Bourbon. That same store has several bottles of the 16 year for $140.00. I have been on the fence as far as buying one. I may have just fallen off the fence on the buy side. Thanks for your review. I always trust your judgment.
@@dronepocket325 The store I am buying them at sells everything for MSRP or slightly less. They have a lot of the Calument 14, 15 and 16. I just bought a bottle of the 16. They are the last store in the area that does not price gouge on bourbons. At the end of the year they have a free raffle and sell everything at MSRP including all allocated Buffalo Trace items. They usually have about 50 winners of hard to get bourbons.
Outstanding review as always. I was anxiously awaiting this review because I put this bottle in my top 5 for the year so far. I love how Calumet has gotten better with each expression, and I truly hope they do a 17 next years. Slainte!
Thank you very much for the review - purchasing this for a whiskey friend's 50th birthday - I am sure he will love it! And currently about $135 locally in WNY!
Thanks for a great review. Delivered Calumet today. I’ll be spend the evening romancing this delicious bourbon!
As always, such a great in-depth and honest review. Keep them coming man. Well done.
Just picked up this bottle last week. Looking forward to cracking it open this weekend.
Picked up a bottle of the 16 year a few weeks ago to take to a family wedding and everyone loved it and thought it was a great bourbon. Was going to take the 15 year I already had but saw everyone on Whaiskey Tube gushing over the 16 year - glad I took the 16. Now to get another bottle so I can enjoy it again. Cheers!
I picked up a bottle last week in Maryland for $147. I probably would not have done it except for the Bourbon Junkies highly recommended it and now you confirmed it. I usually don't spend that much on a bottle, but it was well worth it. I'm glad I pulled the trigger when I did because they are hard to find.
Glad to hear your take. It’s available where I live but I’ve been reluctant to buy it without reading reviews.
Agreed. My favorite and regular whiskey tubers. BJ, ADHD, IBN and Of course Mash and drum. They’re all good in their own respect but this Cal16 really is a level up on the 15.
I just found it near me for 120.
@@chuckvinson1 Hell of a deal.
@@andrewmorehead8710 got mine at S&W Liquor in Temple Hills, MD.
Picked up a bottle on your recommendation when I saw it at my local store today. Definitely a hitter, and a fair price point when taking into consideration how crazy the bourbon market has gotten. Love your videos
This bourbon is delicious and one of my favorite releases this year. I bought a second bottle the day after i tasted it. It is so good.
Great review, may have to check this one out. I'm getting more and more into the Barton profile.
Good review. I need to get that Caldera Lab product now, as well as the Calumet 16.
I loved the 15. Have a 16 on order from my local source and can't wait to try it
Great review man and agree 100% with your breakdown! I loaded my top 5 video last week and this was in it. Fantastic bourbon that reminded me a bit of a great McKenna 10 crossed with a great 15-16yr Knob Creek store pick.
I just bought a second bottle. This is a great value. So good. It’s rare to get 100 proofers this flavorful.
I bought it a few weeks ago and finally I opened it a few days ago and it’s freaking delicious!
got mine for $126. waiting for it to ship, but looking forward to getting it. Great review!
Thanks Jason.....want a huge fan of the 15. I'll definitely be trying the 16 after your review 👍
Totally agree. The finish on this thing kept going and going.
Excellent review Jason! I just saw this for 130 something and texted Dustin and he stated that it was a buy, buy, buy :) I'm not regretting the purchase so far. It definitely has a cherry note that is more pleasant but balanced with more richness and oak and not as medicinal cherry as the 15 was. Cheers buddy!
Bought one today, had some gift cards to the local bottle shop from Christmas to blow. Thanks for the review!
Well done, bro. I might look for this one today
Seen this in store but so expensive, glad I can live vicariously through you.
Just bought this at Justin’s House of Bourbon and can’t wait to try it! Cheers!
Great review! Just bought a bottle an hour ago, trying it tonight! Cheers:)
Just picked up a bottle at my local store for $119 and can't wait to give it a try.
Where for 119?
Just picked up a bottle for $135!! Stoked, great review.
Just bought another bottle just to drink because Costco had it for $128 and change. I love your "crushable" call. It is just a great sip. Well done!
Just saw 4 in a store near me. Going back to pickup a couple bottles. Great review!
I just picked up a 15 year for $95. One of the tastier (if not tastiest) bourbons I have tried. Will need to compare to the 16 if I come across one. Based on your comparison you did with the Sam Houston 15, the Calumet Farms was better than I thought it would be.
Great review, once again.
The 15 was great man I’m definitely interested. Good video
Looking for it, walked into the ABC store and they only had the 15, bought one anyway to add to the one I already have. Just have to keep looking, great review! Thank you.
Got this a few weeks ago and put it up against the Calumet 15, the Fable and Folly, and Lucky Seven 14 yr Prop. The Lucky 7 and Cal 16 came out head and shoulders ahead. The difference between the two was the proof point (my Lucky 7 was about 120 vs the 106). Don’t remember if you did the Lucky 7 Prop, but it’s strong as well.
Going to get this. I LOVE the 14....I mean I REALLY Love the 14.
This was a great review. I have the 14 yr and 15 yr, this is definitely on my radar!
I think the 14 is fantastic.
Thank you for your honesty
Great review Jason, going to get one, tx brother 👍
Great review. It is amazing, i found it for 126.
When i first tried this bottle i had heavy black cherry flavors, as it opened up it tastes like a redvine to me! Excellent pour
After the 15 being solid, had to get the 16. Found it for $130. Definitely looking forward to trying it after the high praise it’s getting.
$130?! 🤯
I can’t find it for less than $180 here in Michigan.
Fedex just delivered mine, cracked it and wow, yea, no regrets on this purchase, sure glad I pulled the trigger on this one, this one is treat all the way through, as always, thanks for your insights,
Just picked this up at a Costco for $114.99! It's absolutely delicious.
Such a good complex bourbon. I had to get a second bottle for my bunker I paid $135 in GA
The reviews of this bottle made me seek one out. I found one today for $137 and it's going into storage for a special day for my son, be it graduation or wedding.
This is definitely on my radar. The 15 year is a staple on my bar, so I gotta get the 16 if you say it’s that much better.
Picked 1 up for $125 with a $5 discount. They got more in stock so I picked up a second one for $130. In IL east of St Louis.
I found one on the shelf and paid $160 for it. Great juice and I'm happy with the purchase. After seeing the reviews on this I'm surprised to find it at all.
I like it! Got some in MD also months ago but popped one last night...
Just picked up W4006.09 but haven't cracked. Was surprised it wasn't in the back allocated room and was priced at 150.
We blinded 15 and 16 as well. 16 Blew it away!
Had a pour in Bardstown last month! Delicious! 🥃🤘🏼
Your review pushed me over the fence. I just picked up a bottle for 131.00 using some Total wine discount coupons. I had just bought a bottle of the Calumet small batch 15 yr old and 8 yr old blended barrels and am looking forward to comparing the 2.
That's a nice set to compare. Especially for the proof differences
I’m a happy boy, I got mine for $125. Cheers!
Have never heard of Calumet Farms until today. Visiting the Local Costco today, has the 15 for $105. I then see your video, watching in the local grocery store parking lot, go in and they have the 16 on sale for $126! Great review Jason and looks like I need to score that last bottle of 16 😄! Cheers!🥃
Where for $126?
@@chrisadams7037 I live outside of Chicago. Our local supermarket. Still have 5 bottles 😁
@@chrisadams7037 Jewel Grocery Store, Cary IL, 40 miles NW of Chicago
😎🔥 That’s nice when you get that spice at the beginning and the end. If it has a long finish that would be on point.🥃
As always, great stuff Jason! Based on your opinion of the 16, is the 15 worth 150 and the 14 120? These seem to be the going rates around here.
Cheers Jason. Glad you are well and still rockin'.
IIRC some of the 1792 variations (Barton) like Full Proof and Single Barrel could lean towards that medicinal cherry 🍒 cough syrup...
You too John!
The nose definitely transfers well to the palate. One of my favorites thats for sure.
Delicious. Thank you again Jason
Jason I luckily have the exact same batch as you, Rack No. W 4006.09, but I was wondering if you think the different 19 Barrel Batches may vary as far as taste like Single Barrel releases like Michter's 10?
Got this at 130 and it’s amazing. Destroys the 15.
Best whiskey tube channel by a mile.
Great review, Jason. I finally opened my bottle of this last night and had a dram. This stuff is really delicious. But the finish on mine was really interesting and not like anything you describe. It's like I told my wife, it's incredibly tasty with a myriad of flavors but they are all sitting on top of a base of OLD musty leather. Makes me think of dark corners in pirate ships of old! Or maybe ancient leather-bound volumes in some dark dusty library (maybe at Hogwarts, he he he).
Anyway, I checked my bottle to see if our rack numbers match and mine is actually 40007.9 where yours is 40006.9. Not sure that would matter. It might just be our different pallets. Anyway, I like it a lot but I'm going to have to be in the mood for ancient leather!
calumet is everywhere here in central illinois, I have a 15 and 16 i got at the local grocery store...
So good I had to get a backup bottle. People will be kicking themselves down the line when they didn’t pick one up.
This will be the next McKenna 10 year. I think the hype on this will drive the price up until they are all off the shelf. I just picked up my 2 bottles for 134 each.
Geez , $150 but you may have talked me into it. Got the 15 last year and was ambivalent about it. Very good, but $130....
Gonna have to try to find someone at / below msrp to pull the trigger.
Great review as always 👏
You should do a video comparing Calumet 16 & Old Fitz 16!
I like, and will repurchase, the 16 year, but for my taste, I prefer the 15 year.
Hey, a different batch! Most of the reviews I've seen have been W4005.09 (which is what I have)
Omaha $139.99. I just got mine yesterday.
You scared me with the spice, I know you like them spicy. Finally picked one up and it was well balanced and even though it did have spice it had some sweet to balance it out. I like it wasn't all wood. Good pour.
Found these at a local shop for $120. Might have to get a backup.
got my 2nd bottle of 16yr today 129.99 great price. 1st bottle was 149.99.
Don’t remember if you compared the SH15 against the Calumet 15. How much better do you rate the SH15 over the Calumet 15?
Great bottle I said nearly the same thing in my review this week. It’s good and beat out Sam Houston 15 for me. I heard rumor they are not doing a Sam Houston this year have you heard anything about that?
No SH releases in 2022 for sure.
I got a bottle about 2 weeks ago and really been enjoying it.
Good job reviewing this as usual..gotta admit though i am a little confused thought i heard you mention your a ...Atlanta Falcons fan ? Why ? Why is anyone who doesn't live in Atlanta a fan . Dam bro that's a tough team to follow not much of a history of success in that franchise. Good luck this season you will definitely need it looking at the current roster it's gonna be a long season.
I know I know. Growing up my family wasnt into football too much so when I started watching my favorite player was Deion Sanders. Ever since then Ive been a fan. Through ALL the ups and the very very downs. lol
How does this compare to sam houston 15?? Know those are all diff state batches
I paid $145 for a bottle, which is 1 of 3 times I have paid above $65. The other 2 are KC12 and KC15. Typically I try to stay below $50, but I tend to not care too much about KC, because it is all good.
The Calumet 16, while $50 more than I have ever paid for any bottle, is well worth it. If I can find another bottle for under $150, I will buy it.
At some point, my best friends son is going to get married, I am going to bring a bottle of this to share with them.
Still see these everywhere.
Your skin looks good 🤘🥃
Haven’t seen the 16 yet around here. I’ll pick up a bottle if it’s @ $150. The 15 is still around, but you never know with bourbon.
Saving me from popping $129.99 on the 15 that I can get locally. I'll be looking for this one for $15 more.
Great video!
This or Russell's 13?
Russell's 13 is impossible to find in Michigan, so I was wondering if Calumet 16 is better. I prefer the dark side of the bourbon. Oak, dark fruits like cherry, caramel, chocolate, etc.
Thanks!
Still prefer the 13 but this is great for the price
Yeah the 16 is winner winner. It’s one of those bottles that when you’re at work thinking about being home and pouring you a glass of bourbon and take that sip, that taste you image is this.
Just found one for $130. Bright spot on a rough year
Go Falcons!!
C16 🔥🔥
Recently bought a bottle at Total Wine @ $145. I’m strongly worried I spent too much for “just a bourbon” when I plenty of other bottles to drink from. Can anyone help persuade me that I made a good choice or should I return? Please looking for real advice. Thanks!!!
I want you to put this next to pappy 15 😂
How was the 14?
Do you drink yours neat or on the rocks and if do how did you start
I started on the rocks in the beginning. After that I started just adding a few drops of water to lessen the burn a bit and open up the whiskey...which is something you can still do....and over time added less water until I got acclimated to neat.
You mentioned Four Gate Batch 4 as being one of the top releases this year. I think you meant Batch 17, the split-stave brrye? Batch 4 came out a couple years ago.
Will be interesting to see if we see a Sam Houston 16 year. Always found it interesting to see how the Sam Houston barton bottles compare to Calumet. For 14 year and 15 year, Sam Houston was notably better.
I said kelvin Collab 4. Yeah that one is delicious.
A store near me has this on sale at 124.99 - would you say that's a good buy?
. But that stuff was good when I bought the 15 and 14. Now I can’t imagine what they’re getting for
I just wish I would’ve bet on their latest horse. And not the whiskey. Which is good by far in fact it’s great man can you imagine? You’re the best Jason you have great reviews and you always have a great pilot thanks
Skin cream? Cmon
Old Fitzgerald 17year and Heaven Hill heritage 17 year aren't on your list for best of the year so far???
The Heaven Hill 17 I probably will add. However the bottle was not mine. The Old Fitz 17 I havent had.
Found this online for 119, got two.
That Wild Turkey is looking into my soul and I can get a my spot but they have it for 1k…. 😢
