Bulleit Straight Bourbon Whiskey is THE original family recipe that built the Bulleit name.Ā
Tom BulleitĀ comes from a family steeped in distilling fine Spirits. He set out to make his own mark inĀ 1987Ā when he launchedĀ Bulleit Frontier WhiskeyĀ by reviving theĀ old family recipeĀ ā Bulleit Bourbon ā 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 becomeĀ the Spirits of choiceĀ for discriminating cocktail drinkers around the world.
Bulleit Straight Bourbon WhiskeyĀ is the foundation upon which Bulliet was built, using the famous family recipe. That means the mash bill consists of 68% corn, 28% rye, and 4% malted barley. It is made from pure Kentucky limestone-filtered water and locally sourced ingredients. There areĀ 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 by goosing the fermenting process. Aged in charred new American white oak barrels and bottled at 45% ABV, this stuff isĀ truly wonderful, winningĀ Double GoldĀ medals, "Best Straight Bourbon," and many more accolades.
