Bulleit Rye 12-Year-Old Straight American Whiskey
To continue its’ commitment to exploration and fulfilling the desire of whiskey drinkers, Bulleit announced a limited release of Bulleit Rye 12-Year-Old Straight American Whiskey.
Bulleit Rye 12-Year-Old Straight American Whiskey is the fifth addition to the Bulleit Frontier Whiskey family, as well as the first extension of Bulleit Rye. Using the same mash bill as its predecessor – 95% rye and 5% malted barley – this small-batch rye whiskey was fully aged and matured to perfection in new charred oak barrels for a minimum of 12 years to create a balance of smoothness and spice.
“The barrels we mingled to produce Bulleit Rye 12-Year-Old were hand-selected for aging based on early identification of their superior quality. Rye’s signature spiciness is certainly still prominent, and this extra aging complements that without being overwhelming as new levels of softness, clove character and vanilla and oak notes are evident. It’s a beautiful whiskey to sip slowly and responsibly” explained Bulleit Frontier Whiskey Blender Andrew Mackay.
Bulleit Rye 12-Year-Old Straight American Whiskey will be available in select cities with a suggested retail price of $49.99 for a 750ml bottle.
