Bulleit Rye is a popular American rye whiskey known for its bold and distinctive flavor profile.
It contains 95% rye and 5% malted barley in its blend. Among the whiskeys in this category, it is one of the highest rye content whiskeys. This gives Bulleit Rye a spicier quality. Typically aged in charred oak barrels for at least 4 years, Bulleit Rye is bottled at a 45% alcohol level.
Rye whiskey is an important component of classic cocktails. While most recipes now refer to it as bourbon, the original recipes for classic cocktails like the Manhattan and the Old Fashioned actually included rye whiskey.
