Bulleit Jr. to fulfill a lifelong dream of resurrecting his great-great-grandfather Augustus Bulleit's high-rye 1830s recipe, this global frontier icon is a benchmark producer in Louisville—the rugged, sun-drenched heartland of Kentucky’s bourbon country. Kentucky is legendary because it holds the spirit's most prestigious heritage, thanks to its unique, ancient water sources naturally filtered through pure limestone. Constant seasonal shifts and dramatic warehouse temperature swings blanket the modern rickhouses, locking in vibrant smoothness while the native wood infuses the distinctively bold, 28% high-rye mash bill with an unforgettable grain-meets-oak character. Aged in heavily charred new American white oak barrels, it captures a masterful harmony of frontier grit and time-tested tradition. Why You'll Love Me: It balances refreshing fruitiness with an incredibly seductive, spicy and dry edge. Striking a phenomenal harmony that makes it uniquely clean and exceptionally punchy in mixed drinks, it bursts from the glass with lively aromas of warm caramel, sweet vanilla bean, rich honey, and a distinct punch of baking spices. On the palate, it delivers a beautiful, silky light-to-medium body that is instantly cut by a laser-beam core of cracked black pepper, nutmeg, and maple syrup. It gracefully sweeps into a long, complex finish defined by a mouthwatering dry woodiness, a touch of dark brown sugar, and a signature hint of rich, lingering rye spice.
