Overview

Bulleit is one of those bottles you've probably seen behind every decent bar. There's a reason for that. The high-rye mash bill (28% rye) gives it more spice and kick than your average bourbon, which makes it a winner neat and bloody good in a cocktail. Smooth, bold, and easy to drink. A reliable bottle, whether you're just getting into bourbon or stocking the shelf with something you know works.
