History

Bulleit Distilling Co. was founded in 1987 by Tom Bulleit, a fourth-generation distiller who was inspired by his great-great-grandfather’s bourbon recipe from the 1800s. Bulleit Bourbon has since become a cult favorite among bourbon enthusiasts, known for its high-rye content and bold flavor profile.

Production

Bulleit Bourbon Blender’s Select is a blend of whiskeys aged between 8 and 12 years, carefully selected from Bulleit’s inventory of over 100,000 barrels. The blend is made from a mash bill of 68% corn, 28% rye, and 4% barley, and is distilled in small batches using traditional copper stills. The whiskey is aged in new American oak barrels, which are stored in a single-story warehouse and monitored and rotated regularly to ensure even aging and to prevent the whiskey from becoming too oaky or bitter.
