Too complex for me

Brian, Aug 16, 2020

Strong!

Matthew, Aug 1, 2020

Appearance: Color is copper, decent legs... Nose: Smooth rye spice, mild sweetness in the background; ethanol as expected on deep inhalation. Honestly a little too tame for a high proof high Rye Whiskey... Palate: Rye and baking spice up front, with a little grain in the background. High spice, but low variety or complexity... Mouthfeel: Coats the tongue a little, before the ethanol drying starts... Finish: Baking spice mixed with Rye spice, aided by the ethanol drying.... Overall: Rye heavy, but otherwise pretty boring. Quite the let down for being barrel strength

Too strong for me and my husband to drink strait ( we normally like a mixer anyway) so we used coke with it. Still a little strong for us but the taste is ok. Definitely has a bite at the end and is spicy. Not one of my favorites.

A superior, easy to drink bourbon. Traditional taste, nothing fancy, just a great straight ahead bourbon...the way the originators meant bourbon to be.

Hits the pallet with a bang and finishes with a smooth flavorful finish. The kind of Whiskey that puts a scowl on your face to let you know you're alive and an 'uh-huh' smile at the end.

Deserves a better rating than 7.7. You get several great whiskies in one based on how you take it. Straight, you’ll get some caramel sweet notes, cherry, pepper and cinnamon. Take a straight pour and rest it on the counter for 30 minutes and it will balance out and develop over time. Add 10-15 drops of water and the caramel becomes milky and creamy, the mouthfeel becomes silky. Add an ice cube and it smooths way out. out, giving tons of vanilla and caramel and just a little spice. I imagine it would hold up well in a cocktail as well. The key to this one is to try it a few different ways, give it air, and decide how you like it. We liked it with a little water best. Great value at $50.

Over powering.

Daniel, Jun 20, 2020

One of the most underrated barrel strength bourbons on the market.

John, Jun 19, 2020

Sharp tasting, interesting. No lingering on palate after tasting - gone as fast as you taste it.

Matthew, Jun 7, 2020

great on ice. solid

Mark, May 30, 2020

Ok bourbon. Definitely get the spice from the rye.

Michael, May 22, 2020

Complexity and heat! Ice mellows...yummy!

Jim, May 21, 2020

An easy daily whiskey...

RANDY, May 20, 2020

I like it better with ice. A lot of heat on the finish!

Marc, May 19, 2020

A smooth drink.

Bob, May 18, 2020

I bought this for my brother-in-law, a real bourbon connoisseur, about a year ago. It’s now his regular bourbon so it must be good.

Joseph, May 7, 2020

I like this one a lot. Smooth full body.

Joe, May 7, 2020

Much sweeter than expected

Jared, May 4, 2020

Never thought I'd find a bourbon in this price range that I like better than Four Roses Single Barrel...But this stuff hits all the right spots for me!

Martin, Apr 30, 2020

Love the smoothness of this ,

Brian, Apr 17, 2020

I liked it a lot it was a tad bit hot but nice. Bullet never disappoints. Good sipping bourbon.

brandon, Apr 16, 2020

so underrated. try it if you haven't

Robert, Apr 8, 2020

Great bottle, really great taste for the price. I have limited exposure to Cask Strength bourbon (read this was my first) and I expected a harsher hit with a 120+proof. Pleasantly surprised, well worth it

Kristopher, Apr 5, 2020

Solid and decent price

Michael, Apr 2, 2020

I like it

Michael, Mar 27, 2020

Solid bourbon for a solid price

Zane, Feb 29, 2020

The pineapple brulee aroma is spot on. So unique and lovely. The toffee flavor is prominent for me with plenty of delicious spice. Would go great with a Heath Bar!

John, Feb 21, 2020

It ain’t bookers but it’s half the price. Nicely spicy and reasonable smooth.

bill, Feb 18, 2020

Great budget bourbon

Paul, Feb 17, 2020

A little spicy. A couple drops of water loosened it up a little. Enjoyable!

Brent, Jan 14, 2020

Smooth, easy to sip with subtle burn and smoke taste. Caramel apple with vanilla and a hint of spice.

Dan, Jan 7, 2020

I enjoy the bourbon more than the Rye, which is how I first met Bulleit. a solid choice for a day-to-day glass of bourbon with a couple of cherries in it.

Charles, Jan 6, 2020

Nice robust taste on the tongue, not too spicy, a step up on taste.

Moses, Dec 3, 2019

Too spicy.

guest, Dec 30, 2019

Its barrel strength......

BRENDA, Nov 23, 2019

Wow, is this strong! I think I'll like it better with a bit of water or on ice.

david, Nov 21, 2019

Absolutely delicious!

Nicholas, Nov 21, 2019

Has a bite to it as you’d expect. This is my favorite Bourbon out there! Decent price for a LOT of flavor and kick.

George, Nov 20, 2019

Very traditional taste love the aromas. Good for sipping or mixed drinks.

Jorge, Oct 30, 2019

Nice deal for the true rye fan. Spicyness from rye with sweet notes and orange zest. Great for a casual night cap.

Chris, Oct 19, 2019

Very good, spicy notes pop out quickly.

John, Oct 14, 2019

Unbelievably smooth and very nice Smokey finish. Excellent for a 120proof bourbon

guest, Sep 6, 2019

Very strong, but a smooth finish. Spicy!

Stefano, Jul 25, 2019

Solid

Ryan, Jul 5, 2019

Either you like barrel strength or you don’t. If you do, this is a great entry at a daily sipper price point.

Timothy, Jul 3, 2019

This one is full of heat and lighter on spice with modest oak notes. Would make for a great cocktail upgrade and nice as a little more kick to regular Bulleit. A splash of water or a good ice globe will help it shine with flavor but the heat will get ya. I like it but it’s not as good as others at the price point.

Pippa, Jun 21, 2019

Not bad but not one of my favorites. Probably won't order again.

Rod, Jun 20, 2019

Good addition to any Bourbon Bar. Stronger than the other Bulleit bourbons and I like it!

Jernique, Jun 7, 2019

Very strong and tastes great. I like the caramel and spicy notes. Very good!

Henry, Jun 6, 2019

A very nice bourbon.

Logan, Jun 4, 2019

Great place for

Rachel, May 17, 2019

Great whiskey. Very strong.

Teresa, May 12, 2019

I liked this a lot, more so than Booker's Barrel Proof. It is quite smooth for the strength. It is not an everyday thing but is a very nice if you want to kick it up a notch for the evening.

Benjamin, Apr 27, 2019

It's a good kick-in-the-head whiskey. Not too much flavor that I recall and it had a heck of a burn afterwards.

Sean, Mar 24, 2019

Very good. This is actually very well priced on Flaviar for once. Price in town is often $50-55 , but have seen as low as $40.99. Pick this one up to add to your collection.
