BulleitStraightRyeMashWhiskey(700mL)

<p>A multi Double-Gold winning classic American Rye Whiskey… extra heavy on the rye. </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><em>Bulleit Straight Rye Mash Whiskey</em> is a High-Rye with a mash bill that maximizes the classic Rye flavor profile and enzyme extraction. They follow the <em>family tradition</em> of using a special, <em>proprietary strain of yeast </em>to keep with the unique character of their products. Further, this Spirit is aged <em>five to six years</em> in new casks where the staves have been toasted to a #4 char and the head toasted to a #2 char. And with the 45% ABV, you will easily taste the difference. — which is why it took home a <em>Double Gold Medal</em> at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2011 in 2013, among <em>other top honors</em>.</p><p><u>Smartass Corner:</u><em>It’s very common for Whiskies to use a bit of malted barley in the mash bill — even in low concentrations. That’s because barley jump-starts the fermentation process and lets the “planted” yeast strains get ahead of and wild yeasts that might be hanging around. </em></p>
