Final Thoughts
Bulleit Barrel Strength is bottled straight from the barrel, uncut and non-chill-filtered, typically ranging from 118 to 125 proof. On the nose, it explodes with vanilla, toasted oak, cinnamon, and candied pecan. The palate is bold and fiery yet balanced, delivering waves of caramel, dark chocolate, dried fruit, and intense rye spice. Full-bodied and powerful, it has a warming finish with oak char, espresso, and baking spice that lingers for minutes. Best enjoyed neat for intensity seekers or with a splash of water to open up its complexity, this bourbon pairs excellently with smoked brisket, dark chocolate mousse, or bold cigars.
