-3%Pour this and the first thing you notice is the spice. Bulleit packs way more rye than most bourbons, so instead of a flat sugar bomb you get pepper, baking spice and a warm caramel hum underneath. It's bold but never harsh, the kind of pour that stands up to ice, soda or a generous nyama choma platter without backing down. If you've been meaning to make a proper Old Fashioned at home, this is the bottle that does the heavy lifting.
Nose first: cracked black pepper and cinnamon, a dry whisper of oak, a flick of orange peel to lift it. The sip opens sweet with caramel and toasted corn, then the rye kicks in fast with peppery, baking-spice heat and a faint herbal edge. The finish is long and spicy, butterscotch and a cool mint note fading out slow. Medium amber, medium weight, more punchy than plush.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This is a Kentucky straight bourbon with a real family yarn behind it. The recipe nods to Augustus Bulleit, a Louisville tavern keeper who made a high-rye whiskey back in the 1800s. Generations later his great-great-grandson Tom Bulleit walked away from a law career to revive it, and the modern bottle hit shelves in 1995. That high-rye character is the whole personality, made with Kentucky limestone-filtered water like the classics.
