Bulleit Bourbon Frontier Whiskey is the bottle that put Bulleit on back bars around the world, a high rye Kentucky straight bourbon inspired by the bold, spirited whiskeys of the American frontier. Its signature is the mashbill: 68% corn, 28% rye and 4% malted barley, a far higher share of rye than most bourbons, which gives Bulleit its trademark spice and dry, clean character. The whiskey is made with pure Kentucky limestone filtered water, a hallmark of classic bourbon country, and aged in new charred American oak barrels that lend color, vanilla and toasted oak. Bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV), it strikes an easy balance between flavor and approachability. In the glass it pours a warm russet amber, with a rich, oaky aroma. The palate is mellow and smooth, never hot, with vanilla, honey and toffee meeting a lively wave of rye spice. The finish is long, dry and lightly smoky, with lingering oak and a gentle peppery warmth. That combination of spice and smoothness is exactly why bartenders reach for Bulleit: it holds its own in an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Whiskey Sour or Mint Julep, and it is just as enjoyable neat or over a large cube. The instantly recognizable frontier style bottle, with its embossed lettering and angled label, has become an icon of modern American whiskey. Whether you are stocking a home bar, building cocktails for a crowd or simply want a dependable everyday bourbon with real character, Bulleit Bourbon delivers consistent quality at a great value.
