Bulleit Whiskey

Bulleit was reborn when a man dug his great-great-grandfather's bourbon recipe out of obscurity. The high rye content gives the whiskey a bite most bourbons don't dare attempt, and the bottle is still shaped like the old apothecary flasks the family once sold it from.

  • Bulleit 10 year Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 70 cl 45,6%.
    Item no.: 22227865386-5006

    Bulleit's older core expression shows what the rye-forward recipe becomes with time.

    Expert description

    Bulleit 10 Year Old Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is matured for at least 10 years, bottled at 45.6%. Bulleit was revived by Tom Bulleit, who built the brand on his great-great-grandfather Augustus Bulleit's 1830s recipe. The whiskey is characterised by a high proportion of rye in the mash bill, giving a more spiced profile than many classic bourbons. The brand is now owned by Diageo and is primarily distilled at Bulleit Distilling Co.'s own distillery in Shelbyville, Kentucky, which opened in 2017.

About Bulleit Whiskey

Bulleit was founded in 1987 by Thomas E. Bulleit Jr., who left a career as a lawyer to revive his family's historic 1830s bourbon recipe, said to have been created by his great-great-grandfather Augustus Bulleit. The brand stands out from most bourbons for its high proportion of rye in the mash bill, giving a spicier, drier style with notes of oak, nutmeg and toffee, while Bulleit Rye offers an even sharper, award-winning profile. Collectors take an interest in the limited barrel-strength releases, while newcomers get a spicy, robust bourbon that differs from the sweeter Kentucky classics.

History & Background

According to family legend, Augustus Bulleit sold his bourbon from a bar in Louisville in the 1830s until he mysteriously disappeared during a trading trip to New Orleans in 1860, and the recipe was forgotten for generations. Thomas E. Bulleit Jr. rediscovered his family's records and relaunched the brand in 1987, originally distilled by other producers, before Diageo, which bought the brand in 1997, opened a dedicated Bulleit distillery in Shelbyville, Kentucky, in 2017. Today Bulleit is one of the fastest-growing American whiskey brands globally, driven precisely by its high-rye profile and its story of a family name that nearly vanished.

History & background

The brand was revived by Tom Bulleit in 1987 and is now owned by Diageo, but is still marketed with its historic, hand-crafted story.

Production & style

The whiskey is distilled with a high proportion of rye in its bourbon and aged in new, charred oak casks using classic American methods.

Signature style

Spiced, Full-Bodied, Caramel
The flavor offers a spiced, full-bodied character with clear notes of caramel and pepper.
