Bulleit, the beloved Kentucky distillery renowned for its straight bourbon and rye offerings, is stepping into new territory with their latest release: Bulleit American Single Malt. In a market still awaiting the official designation of single malt as a category in American spirits, Bulleit’s foray into this realm is a significant step forward. While the trend of Stateside single malts has been steadily growing, with craft distilleries leading the charge, Bulleit’s entry marks a milestone, bringing the style to a wider audience.
Crafted from a mashbill of 100% malted barley and aged in charred white oak barrels, Bulleit Single Malt offers a familiar yet distinct experience for whiskey enthusiasts. With tasting notes boasting pear, vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak, it delivers a flavor profile reminiscent of traditional Scotch whisky but with an unmistakable American flair. Notably, the whiskey is presented in a striking green bottle, a departure from Bulleit’s signature packaging, showcasing its unique identity. Priced at $60, this addition to Bulleit’s permanent collection promises accessibility without compromising on quality, making it a welcome addition to any whiskey lover’s shelf.
