Bulleit made its name over a decade ago during the rye renaissance, delivering what was arguably the bartender\u2019s rye<\/a> of choice with its iconic 95% rye recipe. For all that time, however, fans had to make do with just that, the standard Bulleit rye. The bourbon lineup meanwhile included the flagship bourbon<\/a>, another bartender favorite, and a readily available 10-year-old<\/a>. By 2016, a barrel strength<\/a> offering debuted that would eventually become the foundation for a robust single barrel program, and more recently, a long overdue Bottled in Bond<\/a> joined the bourbon lineup.<\/p>\n The rye portion of the Bulleit portfolio saw only one addition, in 2019, of a short-lived and surprisingly mature expression at 12 years old<\/a>. It was great whiskey at an even better price point, but it was here and gone in the blink of an eye. This past summer the 12-year-old rye made an unexpected return<\/a>, albeit still as a limited offering. It seemed like that was the best Bulleit rye lovers could hope for until recently when a 10-year-old expression finally arrived in the permanent lineup.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s check it out.<\/p>\n This whiskey certainly has more in common with the limited edition 12-year than the non age-stated standard offering. The fresh, herbal hallmarks of the 95\/5 recipe are on full display, restrained by comparison to the classic bartender staple but still woven impressively into a decade of barrel aging. Undertones of dark toffee, chocolate shavings, and chewy caramels build as it opens, but it still retains perky top notes of minted syrup and sweet pickles.<\/p>\n On the palate, this is just as approachable as the older rye, gently warming and round. It\u2019s a bit greener and fruitier, however, with early notes of jackfruit and dill that transition slowly to darker baking spice \u2013 cinnamon, anise, and clove \u2013 and a lacing of split vanilla bean and Demerara syrup. The midpalate simmers with peppercorn and pine before a generous finish of fresh mint, cocktail cherry, and vanilla taffy. A solid sipping rye has finally come to Bulleit\u2019s core lineup and at an impressive price point. Get some.<\/p>\n 91.2 proof.<\/p>\n A \/ $50<\/strong><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t$50<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n <\/p>\nBulleit Rye 10 Years Old<\/h2>\n
