Distiller Notes
Using the same mash bill as their classic Bulleit Rye, this 95% rye and 5% malted barley whiskey is a balance of smoothness and spice. Aged to perfection for no less than 10 years, the pear-like fruitiness, dry, buttery oakiness and faintly spiced notes are best served neat, or on the rocks.
Known for its peppery, spicy bite, Rye serves as the ideal base for cocktails like the Sazerac, Manhattan or Old Fashioned. In order for a spirit to be labeled an American Rye Whiskey, the mash bill must be comprised of at least 51% rye grain. The remainder of the mash is most often a combination of malted barley, wheat or corn. After distillation is complete, the spirit is transferred to unused, charred white oak barrels for a minimum of two years, though many producers choose to age longer.
