1987 marked the year Thomas E. Bulleit, Jr. fulfilled his lifelong desire to bring back to life a near-forgotten family bourbon recipe through establishing the Bulleit Distilling Company. Gaining inspiration from his great-great-grandfather, creator of a high-rye whiskey between the years 1830 to 1860, he left what had been a lucrative law practice to take the risk and pursue life on the frontier. The brand has since gained much repute as the premier producer of rye whiskey and bourbon in America over the years.
Till this day, its award-winning signature bourbon and rye whiskeys continue to be distilled and aged following the Bulleit family tradition. A high rye content in the distillery’s flagship bourbon results in a spicy, bold character alongside a distinctive clean and smooth finish. Limestone-filtered water acts as a foundation for its character, even as charred American oak barrels add a smoky backbone. At the same time, the straight rye whiskey—unparalleled in spice as well as complexity—remains a favourite amongst Bulleit enthusiasts.
