Bulleit’s high-rye bourbon (68% corn, 28% rye, 4% malted barley) bottled straight from the barrel without cutting or chill-filtering. The 28% rye content is nearly double most bourbons, giving Bulleit its signature spice and complexity. At barrel strengthtypically 118-125 proof depending on the barrelthis delivers the full, unmanipulated character that gets diluted in standard bottlings. The natural oils and flavor compounds preserved by skipping chill-filtration add texture and depth. For anyone who likes Bulleit’s regular bourbon and wonders what it tastes like at full power.
