What Makes It Special

Bulleit’s 95% rye mash bill is one of the highest in the industry, creating an intensely spicy whiskey that stands apart from lower-rye competitors. Twelve years of aging in charred American oak barrels allows this bold rye to develop remarkable depth – the aggressive spice mellows into a sophisticated complexity with layers of vanilla, caramel, and oak that complement rather than compete with the rye’s natural character.

This limited production expression is perfect for rye whiskey connoisseurs who appreciate both bold flavor and refined aging. Whether enjoyed neat to savor its full complexity or in premium cocktails where its spice can shine, Bulleit Rye 12 Year represents exceptional value in the aged rye category.
