Bulleit Bourbon

About

Bulleit bourbon is built on a high-rye mash bill, and that one decision explains most of what people like about it. Around 28% of the grain is rye, which is roughly double what a standard bourbon uses, and it's why Bulleit tastes peppery and dry where a lot of bourbon in this price range tastes sweet. The core bottles sit between $30 and $60, which is the other half of the appeal. We carry the bourbon, the rye, the higher-proof expressions, our own single barrel store picks, and the bottled cocktails. We ship to most states, with an adult 21 or older required to sign at delivery. What the High-Rye Mash Bill Actually Does Rye brings pepper, cinnamon and a dry finish. Corn brings sweetness. Shifting the ratio toward rye is why Bulleit holds up in an Old Fashioned or a Manhattan instead of getting buried under sugar and bitters, and it's why bartenders reach for it. If you already know you prefer spice to sweetness, this is a shortcut to the rest of the category: browse high-rye bourbon or rye whiskey once you've decided. The brand traces its story to the 1830s, but the bottle you're buying dates to 1987, when Tom Bulleit put the modern version on shelves. Take the frontier branding for what it is. The whiskey underneath is a well-made, consistently available bourbon at a fair price, which is a better reason to buy it. The Bulleit Range Bulleit Bourbon Frontier Whiskey . The standard bottle at 90 proof, and the one most people mean. Reliable in cocktails, drinkable neat, and priced so you don't have to think about it. Bulleit 95 Rye . The 95 is the rye percentage in the mash bill. Drier and more herbal than the bourbon, and the better choice for a Sazerac or a Manhattan. Bottled in Bond . 100 proof, aged at least four years, from a single distilling season at one distillery. The extra proof carries the rye spice further without much extra cost. Barrel Strength . Uncut and unfiltered, so the proof moves batch to batch. Intense, and worth a few drops of water rather than
