Bulleit Barrel Strength Bourbon Whiskey

A smooth, award-winning 120-proof spirit.

Tom Bulleit comes from a family steeped in distilling fine spirits. He set out to make his own mark in 1987 when he launched Bulleit Frontier Whiskey by reviving the old family recipe — Bulleit Bourbon — with a high-rye mash bill and a ton of attitude. Today, they are a part of the Diageo portfolio, producing a range of four Bourbons and one Rye Whiskey that have become the spirits of choice for discriminating cocktail drinkers around the world. Bulleit Single Barrel Strength is straight out of Kentucky, sticking to the whiskey-making playbook laid down by the whiskey world’s OG quality seal, the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to pay tribute to the greatest entry in the Bulleit lineup — Bulleit Barrel Strength. All of the Bourbons coming out of Bulleit Distillery are made from the same time-honored recipe: 68% corn, 28% rye, and 4% barley. There are no wheat or grain fillers, and every percentage point of that mix serves a specific purpose. The corn makes it sweet and savory, the rye adds some spice and body, and that dash of barley makes the yeast happy — goosing the fermenting process. Since this is poured right out of the barrel, the proof ranges between 120 and 125 (60% to 62.5% ABV). Your average bottle of Bulleit Bourbon clocks in at 45% ABV—so yes, this has got a bit more kick per sip. Major whiskey lovers will also notice that this impacts the finish, which makes it even longer-lasting with delicious spice.

And this stuff is truly wonderful, winning Double Gold and "Best Straight Bourbon" in 2018. But don’t just take our word for it—give it a try yourself. Trust us, the flavors, sensations, and good times packed into this bottle might just make you wonder how you ever settled for less.
