The ultimate expression of a rye whiskey
Bulleit Rye is the ultimate expression of a rye whiskey, achieved by its commitment to a 95 percent rye content, versus the industry standard of 51 percent.
This creates a spicy finish perfect for classic cocktails including The Manhattan, Old Fashioned and The Sazerac.
With rye being a cornerstone to the Bulleit Bourbon recipe, Bulleit Rye had long been a dream of Tom Bulleit’s, as it was the next natural extension of the Bulleit brand.
For years, bartenders and mixologists alike requested that Tom add a rye whiskey to the Bulleit range and since it launched in the US in 2011, it has since grown to become the biggest rye whiskey in the US.

A bit of history
A tavern keeper in 1830s Louisville, Kentucky, Augustus Bulleit had a single goal: the creation of a bourbon unique in flavour. After experimenting with countless varieties, he finally created a bourbon with the character he had long sought after. One day, while transporting his barrels of bourbon from Kentucky to New Orleans, Augustus Bulleit vanished. What happened is still unknown, and his creation disappeared for a while. In 1987, Thomas E. Bulleit Jr. fulfilled a lifelong dream of reviving the old family bourbon recipe, by starting the Bulleit Distilling Company.
