Bulleit 95 Rye 10 Year Old American Straight Rye Whiskey 750ml
Bulleit 95 Rye 10 Year Old replaced the previous 12 Year expression as an ongoing permanent addition to the Bulleit Rye lineup, sharing the same iconic 95 percent rye, 5 percent malted barley mash bill that made the flagship Bulleit Rye a bartender favorite during the rye whiskey renaissance. Distilled under a proprietary agreement with MGP Ingredients, Bulleit controls the barrel maturation across its own and MGP's warehouses, resting each batch a minimum of 10 years in charred American white oak.
