company Fortune Brands (NYSE: FO), both of which are headquartered

in the suburbs of Chicago, in Deerfield, IL.^[1]

Calvert Extra is frequently referred to as Cocktail Whiskey because of

its neutral spirit content. It is made from 70% grain neutral spirits and

30% straight whiskey. The high neutral spirit level makes it very

unassuming so that it can be blended with any mixer and not

overwhelm the cocktail. It is one of america's top selling blended

whiskey. It is bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV) in newly charred white

oak barrels. It is sold in glass in 16 oz pint bottles, glass 750ml

bottles, glass 1-liter bottles and plastic 1.75L bottles.
