<p>Bulleit Bourbon 10 Year Old is nothing but tasty from the first shot. </p><p><em>Tom Bulleit </em>comes from a family steeped in distilling fine Spirits. He set out to make his own mark in <em>1987 </em>when he launched <em>Bulleit Frontier Whiskey</em> by reviving the <em>old family recipe</em> — Bulleit Bourbon — with a high-rye mash bill and a ton of attitude. Today they are a part of the Diageo portfolio producing a range of four Bourbons and one Rye Whiskey that have become<em> the Spirits of choice</em> for discriminating cocktail drinkers around the world.</p><p>Which brings us to today’s lesson in <em>tasty awesomeness,</em> a 10 year-old Bulleit Broubon. Now, the first thing you got to know is the mash bill. All of the <em>Bourbons </em>coming out of <em>Bulleit Distillery Company</em> are made from the same time-honored recipe: <em>68% corn, 28% rye, and 4% barley</em>. There are no wheat or grain fillers, and every % point of that mix serves a specific purpose. The corn makes it sweet and savory, the rye adds some spice and body, and that dash of barley gooses the fermenting process just right.</p><p><em>Nothing else is needed, so nothing else is added. </em></p><p><em>Bulleit Bourbon </em>is aged at least 6 years, but is famously<em> “not bottled until it’s ready.” </em>But for their 10 YO, those medium-char American white oak casks are left alone for a full decade and bottled at 45.6% ABV. <em>Golly-Bob-Howdy Vern…</em> That’s some damn good sipping Whiskey right here! Somewhere along an ancient, hidden part of the Appalachian Trail the ghost of old Augustus is smiling wide. </p>
