About the product
Bulleit Bourbon Bottled-in-Bond represents the pinnacle of American whiskey craftsmanship. This 2025 edition honors the brand's commitment to quality and tradition, delivering a bold, full-bodied bourbon with the distinctive high-rye mashbill that defines Bulleit's character.
Bottled-in-Bond certification guarantees this whiskey was produced at a single distillery, aged for a minimum of four years in new charred oak barrels, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. The result is a robust spirit with rich notes of vanilla, oak, and spice, balanced by a smooth, warming finish.
Perfect for bourbon enthusiasts who appreciate authenticity and depth. Enjoy neat, on the rocks, or in your favorite cocktail.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Taste Notes
- Nose: Spicy and fruity with distinct aromas of toasted oak, warm maple, and nutmeg.
- Palate: A rich, oily mouthfeel featuring brown sugar, caramel, and butterscotch. The high-rye content adds a bright "pop" of black pepper and cinnamon.
- Finish: Long and persistent, transitioning from sweet toffee to a savory oak char and rye spice.
Food Pairings
- Savory: BBQ Smoked Brisket. The 100-proof strength and rye spice cut through the fatty richness of the beef, while the oak notes complement the smoke.
- Cheese: Aged Gouda. The nutty, caramel-like crystals in the cheese harmonize perfectly with the bourbon's butterscotch and maple profile.
- Dessert: Apple Pie with Cinnamon. The fruitiness of the bourbon enhances the cooked apples, while the baking spices in the pie echo the nutmeg notes in the whiskey.
About the brand
Founded by Tom Bulleit in 1987, the brand spent decades using contract-distilled spirit (notably from Four Roses and MGP). This "Bottled-in-Bond" release signals their transition to a true "estate" distillery. Even prior to its wide 2025 release, this expression earned a 91-point rating at the International Wine & Spirits Competition.
