Tasting notes
Russet; dark brown color with a reddish-orange tinge.
Rich oaky aromas.
Smooth with sweet notes of vanilla, honey, spice and rye.
Crisp and clean.
Distilled and aged according to the Bulleit family tradition. The high content of rye gives it a bold, spicy character with a distinctively smooth, clean finish. Then the Kentucky limestone-filtered water provides a foundation for the bourbon's character, while charred American oak barrels lend a smoky backbone. Their aging philosophy is simple: they wait until our bourbon is ready.
