  • Excerpt: Towards the back, there's also a bit of sour cherry along with pepper and rye spice. A lengthy finish leaves you riding a wave of caramel and barrel char.

  • Excerpt: The flavor is complex and makes for a fantastic sipper. Probably the best Bulleit expression I have tasted. Its high rye profile is my jam, but it stands out compared to others.

  • Publication: Whiskey Consensus
  • Excerpt: This first release in the Blender’s Select series provides a major step up for the Bulleit brand, at least in my mind. The high rye mash bill provides plenty of the spice that I typically prefer in a bourbon, while also showcasing a range of dark fruit notes that tame the spice and proof to create a very smooth, drinkable bourbon.

  • Excerpt: All told, it drinks like a rather fruitier version of the iconic standby, and with depth to spare.

House Review
  • Intro:

    The first release of this new line of expressions, Bulleit Blender's Select is a new, blended line coming from the handiwork and blendng expertise of Eboni Major on behalf of Bulleit Bourbon.

  • Nose:

    Bright honesuckle, caramel, toffee and praline. Cinnamon, a hint of pepper and clove. Gentle oak tannins, some vanilla bean.

  • Taste:

    Spicy on the palate at first. Ton of caramel, sweet cream, brown butter and pepper. Nice oak structure. Complex.

  • Finish:

    Long finish that blends fresh baked bread, brown sugar, demanding oak and some floral spice.

  • Overall:

    Lovely release and a really great blend. Looking forward to seeing more releases like these from Bulleit and Eboni and her work. Top notch.

  • Score:
