The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1987 by Thomas E. Bulleit Jr., the brand was created to revive an old family high-rye bourbon recipe dating back to the 1830s. Today, Bulleit is celebrated worldwide for its signature high-rye content and bold, spicy flavor profile.

How it is made

Crafted at the historic Bulleit Distillery, this rye release pays homage to the high-rye mash bills preferred by early American distillers. It is aged in charred new American oak barrels to develop its rich amber color and complex woody depth.
