Bulleit Bourbon, often recognized for its distinctive high-rye recipe, is a prominent brand in the world of American whiskey. Founded by Tom Bulleit in 1987, the brand is inspired by a family bourbon recipe that dates back to the 1830s, which Tom's great-great-grandfather, Augustus Bulleit, originally created. The modern Bulleit brand was launched with a focus on crafting a bourbon with high rye content, which gives it a bold, spicy character that distinguishes it from many other bourbons.
Bulleit Bourbon's unique profile is also due to its specific blend of 68% corn, 28% rye, and 4% malted barley. This composition contributes to its bold and spicy character, making it a favorite among those who prefer a bourbon with a kick. The whiskey is typically aged for about six years, further developing its deep flavors and smooth finish.
Nose:
Bulleit Bourbon offers a pleasing and instantly likable nose with rich notes of caramel and honey, complemented by hints of orange and vanilla. This combination is underpinned by an underlying layer of oak and a refreshing hint of mint, creating a complex and inviting aroma.
Palate:
The palate is characterized by its sweetness and mellowness, showcasing flavors of brown sugar, vanilla, and toffee. Despite its richness, the bourbon remains balanced with light touches of oak and rye spice, which round out the flavor profile, making it enjoyable and not overly sweet.
Finish:
Bulleit Bourbon finishes with moderate length, where oak initially takes the forefront, evolving to develop further into a full-flavored finish. This closing note is interesting and complex, filled with mild spice and subtle hints of oak, providing a satisfying conclusion to the tasting experience.
