Nose: On the tip of the initial waft was a prominent alcohol aroma no matter the distance from the glencairn, but that subsided after a brief moment revealing a sweet vanilla aroma clear to the back of the nasal cavity. Palate: When tasting the Bulleit Bourbon the flavor of brown sugar was gentle and full-bodied. You would know it’s there but it’s not intimidating or overbearing. With a second tasting when swished throughout the mouth, this whiskey reveals a subtle chocolate flavor. Finish: The soft glow of alcohol upon your tongue and a minimal gentle pepper were present for several moments after consumption.
