Bulleit Rye is a true American rye whiskey. Indeed, its mash bill reveals 95% rye, whereas the minimum is 51%.
Aged for over 6 years in highly burned American oak barrels, it offers a strong, assertive identity.
Nico's tasting notes
The nose is very approachable and even quite fun, like a banana candy or a lightly spiced pear juice. Then cereals and vanilla quickly add a little roundness to this freshly acidic atmosphere.
Aeration in no way detracts from this joyfully fresh, fruity character, but adds a few touches of smoke and resin around the edges.
The palate is a little more serious, without losing its deliciousness. Even in the minority, malted barley brings its characteristic notes, where fermentation influences the depth and organic side of the profile. Cereal and toasted oak do the rest, for a sweet toasty flavor.
The finish is roasted, softly spicy, with reminiscences of caramelized banana in the length.
"A Rye Whiskey that's tasty and light at the same time, at ease in all situations..."
