Bulleit Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Bulleit Bourbon is a bold, frontier-inspired whiskey that’s become a staple on shelves across Australia and the world. Rooted in a high-rye mash bill—approximately 68% corn, 28% rye, and 4% malted barley—it delivers a spicy, dry flavour profile that stands out in cocktails or sipped neat. Distilled in Kentucky and owned by Diageo, Bulleit pays homage to a 19th-century recipe developed by Augustus Bulleit, which was revived by his great-great-grandson in the late 1980s.
On the nose, expect vibrant aromas of vanilla, dried orange peel, and sweet oak. The palate is full-bodied and clean, with notes of toffee, clove, cinnamon, and a zesty pepperiness from the rye. It finishes long and warming, with a subtle smokiness and just a touch of maple sweetness.
Bulleit’s character and high-rye intensity make it ideal for classic bourbon cocktails like the Old Fashioned or Manhattan, where its structure cuts through with authority. Aged at least 6 years and bottled at 45% ABV, it’s a versatile bourbon that appeals to newcomers and seasoned bourbon lovers alike. Whether you’re stocking your bar cart or hunting for a go-to pour, Bulleit Bourbon brings a touch of American frontier spirit to every glass.
