The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1987 by Tom Bulleit, the brand was inspired by a high-rye whiskey recipe created by his great-great-grandfather Augustus Bulleit in the mid-1800s. Tom revived the family tradition in Louisville, Kentucky, creating one of the most recognizable names in modern American distilling.

How it is made

Distilled at the historic Bulleit Distillery, this expression utilizes a legendary mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley. It is aged for a minimum of four years in charred new American oak barrels to develop its rich, signature complexity.
