Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Taste & Sensory Profile
- Nose: Notably rich and aromatic. You'll find vanilla bean, honey, and toasted oak at the forefront, followed by deep notes of dried fruit (like dates and raisins) and a hint of red berries.
- Palate: Bold and structured. The 100-proof strength carries heavy flavors of toffee, dark brown sugar, and baking spices. The high-rye spice is present but polished, allowing a sweet cream and "fruit wine" decadence to shine through.
- Finish: Long, balanced, and warming. It leaves a lingering sweetness of caramel and fruit, with a sophisticated dry oak edge.
Food Pairings
- Savory: Rosemary-Crusted Lamb or Smoked Brisket. The herbal notes and richness of the meat stand up well to the 100-proof intensity and high-rye spice.
- Cheese: Aged Cheddar or Manchego. The sharpness of the cheese provides a great contrast to the bourbon’s vanilla and honey sweetness.
- Dessert: Pecan Pie or Dark Chocolate Truffles. The nutty, caramelized flavors of the pie harmonize with the toasted oak and toffee in the whiskey.
- The "Blender's" Serve: Best enjoyed neat or with a large ice sphere. The slight dilution from a slow-melting ice ball opens up the floral fruit notes without drowning the 100-proof body.
About the brand
This specific release was painstakingly crafted by Eboni Major, Bulleit's former blender. She hand-selected just three out of the ten distinct distillates (recipes) that usually go into the flagship Bulleit blend to create a more focused, complex profile.
