Refined and powerful, Bulleit Rye embodies the pioneering spirit of Kentucky. This “Kentucky Straight Rye” whiskey is made according to a time-honored American recipe, delivering a bold and distinctive tasting experience. It has become a benchmark for rye whiskey lovers around the world.

Blend and Distillation

Bulleit Rye is made from 95% rye and 5% malted barley — a daring composition that gives the whiskey its signature intensity and structure. Slowly distilled in traditional copper stills, it is aged for several years in charred American oak barrels, which enrich it with deep aromas of vanilla, spice, and caramel. This careful maturation reveals the full character of rye — lively, warm, and perfectly balanced.

Tasting Notes

In the glass, its amber hue with copper reflections reveals a generous spirit. On the nose, it offers spicy aromas, dried fruit, and toasted wood. On the palate, it’s round yet vibrant, with caramel, black pepper, and honey balanced by a subtle cereal freshness. The long, dry finish evokes walnut, cinnamon, and vanilla oak.

Serving Temperature and Tasting Tips

Enjoy neat between 16 and 18°C to appreciate its full complexity, or on the rocks for a smoother, refreshing experience. Excellent in classic cocktails such as the Old Fashioned or Manhattan, where its rich character truly shines.
