About Bulleit 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Bulleit Bourbon 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is made from a mash of corn, rye and malted barley. After the grains are harvested, they are mashed and fermented with a unique strain of family yeast. Following fermentation, the wash is distilled through a copper-still before being matured in charred, American oak casks for a minimum of ten years. “I may be biased, but I think Bulleit Bourbon is incredible at its traditional age of five to eight years,” says Bulleit. “But it was exciting to see what happened to a select number of barrels aged a little longer. The result was a special expression of our family’s bourbon that exceeded our expectations and we knew we had to bottle it and share it with our loyal fans.”
Bulliet Ten Year Old Bourbon has a dark caramel color, but along with an aroma of toasted oak, rich caramel and sweet fruits. The notes of woody spices, cloves and oak give way to hints of dried fruits, light vanilla and spicy rye on the palate, and lead to a long, slightly sweet finish.
The bourbon earned a score of 92 points from the Beverage Testing Institute in 2013, and a score of 91 points from Wine Enthusiast. In addition, Forbes Magazine called it “one of the best bourbons.”
“There’s a difference between aging and maturity, and we’ll never bottle bourbon until it’s ready to reach the customer,” says Bulleit.
