BULLEIT BARREL STRENGTH BOURBON WHISKEY

Detailed Description
This second batch of Bulleit Bourbon Barrel Strength is crafted from a mash of corn, rye and malted barley. After the grains are harvested, they are mashed and fermented with a unique strain of family yeast. Following fermentation, the wash is distilled through a copper still before being matured in charred, American oak casks for six to eight years. “Once we’re done with the barrels, they’re sent over to Johnnie Walker where they’ll age the blended scotches,” says Bulleit. Proofs range from 118-125.4.
