Description

Made from a mash of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, Bulleit Rye was named the world’s best rye whiskey at the 2014 Ultimate Spirits Challenge.

Bulleit Straight Rye Mash Whiskey is a “High Rye Whiskey” is to understate things considerably. It is, in fact, 95% rye and 5% malted barley grain. There are very few higher rye concentrations than that. And just like with Bulleit’s famous Bourbon, they follow the family tradition of using a special, proprietary strain of yeast to keep with the unique character of their products.

Distillery Information

In 1987, Thomas E. Bulleit, Jr., fulfilled a lifelong dream of reviving an old family bourbon recipe by starting the Bulleit Distilling Company. Inspired by his great-great-grandfather Augustus Bulleit, who made a high-rye whiskey between 1830-1860, Tom left a successful law practice and risked everything to experience life on the frontier. Today, we’re not the only ones who are glad he did.

Contains 2 50ml mini bottles.
