Bulleit 10 Year Old is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This appellation requires at least 2 years' ageing in heavily toasted American oak casks. Here, the contract is more than fulfilled with this 10-year-old small batch. The mash bill of this bourbon contains a high proportion of rye (28%), which is its trademark.
Florian's tasting notes
The dress is amber with thick, sticky tears.
The nose is very imposing. Rye and flowers, lilies and violets work in concert with fudge, orange and preserved lemon. The woodiness is soft, with nutmeg and butter.
On the palate, it's rich, round and dry at the same time, sparkling with pepper, fine with lily flowers, round with the sweetness of caramel and candied orange, a little milk chocolate, then a woody, toasty, brioche-like bittersweetness.
Long finish of nutmeg and flowers.
"Another successful American! Soft and dry at the same time, it adapts to all situations..."
