Final Thoughts
The flagship expression, Bulleit Bourbon, is crafted with a mash bill of 68% corn, 28% rye, and 4% malted barley, giving it a spicier kick than most bourbons. On the nose, it opens with aromas of sweet oak, vanilla, and nutmeg layered over dried apricot and orange peel. The palate is bold yet balanced, with flavors of caramel, cinnamon, peppercorn, and roasted nuts, softened by hints of toffee and honey. Medium-bodied with a warming spice, it finishes long with lingering oak, baking spices, and a touch of cocoa. A versatile whiskey, it works beautifully in cocktails like the Old Fashioned or Manhattan but also holds its own neat or on the rocks.
