The Bulleit Rye Small Batch American Whiskey is a tribute to the traditional American whiskey culture and is one of the most outstanding rye whiskeys on the market. Produced with an exceptionally high rye content of 95%, this whiskey stands for a distinctive spiciness paired with a harmonious sweetness and complex flavours.

The story behind Bulleit Rye is just as fascinating as the whiskey itself. Tom Bulleit fulfilled a long-cherished dream by founding the Bulleit distillery - inspired by his great-great-grandfather Augustus Bulleit, who created a unique bourbon back in the 19th century. Tom Bulleit gave up his secure job, risked everything and breathed new life into the old family recipe - a decision that, as he said himself, he has never regretted.

The Bulleit Rye matures for between 5 and 7 years in new, heavily burnt American oak barrels, giving it an intense depth and strong woody flavour. Its distinctive canteen shape is reminiscent of the time of the American War of Independence and the soldiers who transported their drinks in similar bottles. Thanks to its exceptional quality, Bulleit Rye was named Spirit of the Year at the 2014 Mixology Bar Awards and is now one of the most popular rye whiskeys in the world.

The Bulleit Rye Small Batch is ideal for pure enjoyment, but also unfolds its full potential in classic cocktails. Old Fashioned, Manhattan or Sazerac in particular benefit from its spicy character.
