Bulleit Bourbon Single Barrel

It's ok. Good to use in your mixers but not neat or on ice.

Nose: sweet, caramel, vanilla Pallet: oak, caramel, vanilla Finish: banana, pepper House of Liquors store pick. 10.5 year and bottles at 104

Stitzel-Weller Master Blender pick at the distillery. Accompanying notes describe a mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley, making it lower rye than typical Bulleit. This clearly shows, as it is far sweeter and tames the peppery rye spice into more of a pleasing clove and vanilla. Bought a bottle as it was both unique and enjoyable!

Light caramel to dark honey in color. Nose: lots of oakiness with hints of leather and vanilla cream. Palate: More vanilla and oak with fresh cracked pepper. Finish: a nice creaminess comes it and soothes the pepper down a bit. At the very end a ripe somewhat tart cherry note arrives.
