Bulleit Tattoo Edition Straight Bourbon Whiskey
(0.7l, 45%)
The rock-solid Bulleit Bourbon you love in a cultural collectors edition bottle.
Back in the 1860’s, Tom Bulleit’s great-great-great granddad Augustus Bulleit was escorting a shipment of Bourbon from his distillery-farm in Kentucky down to New Orleans for sale when… poof! Several dozen full barrels of his signature high-rye Bourbon just up and vanished along with the man himself. Was it angry Native Americans? Common highwaymen pent on mischief? Thirsty pirates? No one knows!
Well, fast-forward to 1987 and young Tom Bulleit relaunched the family heritage — Bulleit Bourbon — with a high-rye mash bill and a ton of attitude. Today they make only three versions: their signature Boubon, a full-on Rye, Cask Strength, and their premium-aged 10 yo Bourbon.
Bulleit Bourbon Tattoo Edition is classic Bulleit Bourbon in a creative cultural wrapper. Let’s start with what’s on the inside — one of the most awarded Bourbons around with a mash bill of 68% corn, 28% rye, and 4% malted barley aged to perfection. And it’s got plenty of flavorful punch at 45% ABV. If you’ve tasted it, you know what we’re talking about. What’s different here is that Bulleit contracted with four notable tattoo artists to create bootle art representing their respective cities — Portland, New York, Los Angeles, and Austin. In short, the bottles have been “inked-up” with stylized designs in strictly limited quantities perfect for collectors.

The temperatures of American warehouses are much higher, so the pace of maturation is much quicker for Bourbons than for Scotch Whiskies
