Final Thoughts
Introduced in 2011, Bulleit Rye quickly earned acclaim for its 95% rye mash bill. The nose is aromatic with pepper, dill, anise, and clove, softened by vanilla and caramel undertones. On the palate, it bursts with classic rye spice, mint, and baking spices, supported by a backbone of oak and light fruitiness. Full-bodied yet smooth, it finishes long with peppery warmth, herbal notes, and a whisper of toffee. Perfect for cocktails, Bulleit Rye is exceptional in a Sazerac or Boulevardier, yet it’s elegant enough to sip neat. It pairs wonderfully with pastrami sandwiches, sharp cheddar, or dark chocolate.
