US Whiskey brand Bulleit has launched the latest addition to its permanent portfolio of exceptional whiskies, Bulleit Rye 10-Year-Old.
Maintaining the flagship Rye’s iconic mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, this new expression is aged for a minimum of 10 years in new charred American white oak barrels to enhance the balance of smoothness and spice.
On the nose, this expression has rich caramel and toffee notes and hints of buttery rye. The palate delights with pear-like fruitiness, dry oak, full-bodied vanilla, and a spiced rye finish that lingers.
The new Bulleit Rye 10-Year-Old joins the acclaimed Bulleit Bourbon 10-Year-Old to form the foundation of the new Bulleit 10-Year Aged Whiskeys range.
“Our Bulleit 10-Year Aged Whiskeys showcase the bold, spicy rye-forward flavours that define our brand. Each expression is a testament to the meticulous craft of ageing and our relentless drive to push the boundaries of American whiskey,” explained Jenika Newsum, Senior Brand Manager at Bulleit Frontier Whiskey.
“We’re excited to introduce these whiskeys and look forward to unveiling even more innovations that reflect our commitment to whiskey craftsmanship,” Newsum continued.
Bottled at 91.2 proof (45.6% ABV), Bulleit Rye 10-Year-Old was awarded a Gold Medal at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and scored 98 out of 100, receiving Gold Outstanding Spirit, making it one of the top-rated American Rye Whiskeys at the 2024 International Wine & Spirits Competition.
