History & Heritage

In 2011, Bulleit introduced Bulleit Rye to the family. An award-winning, straight rye whiskey with a character of unparalleled spice and complexity, Bulleit Rye is made up of 95% rye and 5% barley.

Rye is undergoing a renaissance and is one of the fastest growing spirit categories in the world, with Bulleit Rye already one of the world’s favourites.

FLAVOUR PROFILE

Bulleit Rye is exceptionally smooth, with hints of vanilla, honey, and spice. The finish is crisp and clean, with long, lingering flavours.

Interesting Facts

  • Bulleit Rye was launched in 2011 at the request of bartenders who said to Tom Bulleit: “You make a great high rye bourbon, why don’t you bring us a full rye?”. So, he did! 

  • The green on the Bulleit Bourbon Rye bottle is inspired by the colour of rye fields.
