Description
Inspired by a long lost 1830s family recipe, Bulleit Bourbon is a frontier classic that stands out for its bold, high rye character. This whiskey is crafted with a proprietary yeast strain and a unique mash bill that creates a profile both spicy and complex yet remarkably smooth. Packaged in its iconic 19th century style flask, this 1.75L handle is a favorite among bartenders because its robust flavor perfectly balances classic cocktails like an Old Fashioned. It is a versatile, time honored spirit that feels just as at home in a glass neat as it does at the center of a lively gathering with friends.
