As a whiskey built by the support of the bartending community, Tom wanted to know what they would think about an addition based on higher proof instead of new flavors or finishes. Over the last year, Bulleit Founder, Tom Bulleit traveled the globe sharing sips of a new, unreleased style of Bulleit Bourbon with some of the world’s top bartenders.
BULLEIT BOURBON SINGLE BARREL FULL
I am happy to, in turn, share the full details with you: That coyness changed though when I reached out to them yesterday for more information, which they were more then happy to share with us. No final decisions have been made, but as soon as we have additional details to share, we’ll be sure you’re among the first to know. This is a project we’re considering as a potential future release.
We are always listening to our consumers and partners in the trade about what they’d like to see next from the Bulleit brand. I’ve reserved select barrels to be bottled at true barrel strength to offer you this unique and distinctive release of my straight bourbon whiskey.Īs is often the case, the press arm of Diageo was playing coy at the time around whether Barrel Strength would actually come to market, saying to us in a statement that Out of the barrel, uncut and unfiltered, this whiskey delivers unrivaled boldness and complexity. It was judged at the recent San Francisco Spirit Competition, where it a scored a gold medal in its category, according to Diageo, the parent company of Bulleit. Going back to what we wrote back in February, here is some more information about this now official release from the labeling: The whiskey, in some regard, has already been outside of Kentucky.
Plans are said to call for upwards of 3,000 cases to be released at first, according to BourbonBlog and the Lexington Herald-Leader, but if you are hoping to score a bottle and you are outside of Kentucky, you may have to wait awhile – word is it will only be available in 750 and 375 ml sizes in the Bluegrass State initially ( there’s always the secondary market if you are wanting to be one of the first). So far, it’s built that popularity with just two bourbon expressions: regular, and a 10-year variant. Now word has arrived out of Kentucky of a new barrel strength version, which we were among the first to report on when the bottle label was approved by the TTB back in February.īulleit Bourbon Barrel Strength edition, as the name implies, is not for the faint of bourbon heart, as it clocks in at a hefty 118 to 125 proof. There’s no doubt that Bulleit Bourbon is one of America’s most popular bourbon brands.
