Bulleit Rye is composed of 95% rye and 5% malted barley with a 45% ABV and is produced for Bulleit by Midwest Grain Products of Indiana. Nosing the coated shot glass is a treat unto itself. It presents a honeyed aroma of oaken vanilla along with a dry spiciness characteristic of rye. On the palate, this combination of dryness and spiciness is curiously satisfying. Peppery cinnamon and clove, oaken tannins, and rye bread mix with just a tad of sweetness produced by the fruitiness of cherries, apples and pears. A long, smooth, dry and spicy finish convinces you that this spirit needs nothing to improve. If you’re someone that prefers the dryness of single malts over other whiskies, then you need to give this a try. A lack of heritage has me holding this whiskey back at 4 stars.

If you rate this Rye, give Pikesville or High West Rendezvous Ryes a try. Both are outstanding
