Christopher Null - Drinkhacker "Demure, silky smooth, a little sassy, and, most of all, complicated."
Josh Peters - Whiskey Jug "It’s incredible on the rocks or in a cocktail."
Master of Malt "The Bulleit distillery sure know their way around a rye whiskey."
Nose - Big heaps of cherries and vanilla, with subtle notes of leather and tobacco.
Palate - Rather hot at first, the spices coming to the forefront. This is followed by peaches, more cherries, and a little bit of orange zest.
Finish - A smoky finish, carried by cinnamon, allspice, and a hint of sweeties.
A tavern keeper in 1830s Louisville, Kentucky, Augustus Bulleit was dedicated to a single goal: the creation of a bourbon unique in flavor. After experimenting with countless varieties, he finally came upon a bourbon with the character he had long sought after. To this day, Bulleit Bourbon is distilled and aged in the Bulleit family tradition. High rye content gives it a bold, spicy character with a distinctively smooth, clean finish.
