Description

Bulleit Bourbon Frontier Whiskey is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon inspired by a family whiskey recipe pioneered more than 150 years ago. Crafted using high-quality rye, corn, and barley malt, together with special yeast strains and pure Kentucky limestone-filtered water, it delivers the bold yet balanced character for which Bulleit is renowned.

Its especially high rye content gives the bourbon a pronounced spicy character while preserving a distinctively clean and smooth finish. Gentle spice and sweet oak lead into a smooth mid-palate of maple, oak, and nutmeg, followed by a long, dry, satiny finish with a light touch of toffee.

Rich enough to enjoy neat yet versatile enough for classic whiskey cocktails, Bulleit Bourbon is an expressive American whiskey suited to Old Fashioneds, Whiskey Sours, Manhattans, and relaxed pours over ice.

Craftsmanship

Bulleit Bourbon takes its character from a distinctive combination of rye, corn, and barley malt, complemented by special yeast strains and pure Kentucky limestone-filtered water. The especially high rye content gives the whiskey its signature spice, while careful distillation and maturation create its clean, smooth texture.

The result is a balanced bourbon that moves from sweet oak and gentle spice to maple, nutmeg, and light toffee, offering enough structure for spirit-forward cocktails while remaining smooth enough for sipping.
