Pretty nice stuff. Nose reminds me of cherries and cut cedar. Surprisingly soft, creamy sweetness...and it's actually 45% ABV, not 40% as above... Posted By: Mike

Just bought a bottle and the UK Bulleit bottles are definitely labelled as 40% - although I know the US bottles are 45% ABV.

A very smooth bourbon. Slight cherry and vanilla aroma, great caramel color. Warms nicely without harsh alcohol bite. Creamy mouth-feel. Excellent.

great drop, i drink this when i'm after something a little spicier than a woodford or blantons. worth more than you pay for it. go out and get one. i have some of the last of the 45% left in australia, i'm hoping the 40% is just as good.

Excellent Bourbon, smooth and full of taste. Does not have the bite that other more well-known Bourbons have. It used to be available in 2 of our larger Supermarkrt chains but sadly it has disappeared from the shelves, in more ways than one! Posted By: MJ

Amazing bourbon, the spicy kick makes it almost tastes like a tequila. It's a great smooth drink, no wonder the Diffords Guide recommends it for cocktails needing bourbon, even though it's amazing drunk neat. For this price you won't find better. Posted By: Cubitus

My favorite bourbon at a working man's price. Very smooth and does magic on the nose. Smell of charred oak and warm vanilla. This is one drink I always want to have to warm up on. Posted By: Jakob

Tried this for the first time at the weekend at Littlecote House in Oxford. My husband and I are smitten, can't think of anything we'd rather be drinking from now on: Fantastic.Tracey Posted By: Tracey And Lez Surrey

really nice, especially at the special offer price, probably has the edge over makers mark and my previous favourite woodford reserve Posted By: mooch

This is bourbon with a good mix of aromas and flavours. It is easy to like, equally easy to drink and easy on the pocket as well. Bulleit may not be quite as complex as some higher-priced bourbons, but can stand amongst them as a good, solid drink with its own character. Posted By: Derek Wheeler

Tasting Notes:

Producer's Tasting Notes

Oaky, smoky, and smooth.

Bulleit Bourbon is russet in color with a rich, oaky aroma. The dry, clean flavor is mellow and smooth, not hot in the throat. This 90 proof Kentucky bourbon delivers a wonderfully complex taste with hints of vanilla and honey and a long smoky finish.

Rating by F. Paul Pacult (Spirit Journal)

Superb - A highly recommended distilled spirit whose attributes, in the opinion of the author, are of exemplary quality and character within the established standards of its category. An outstanding product which is worthy of a search. (September, 2002)

Tasting Notes from Beverage Tasting Institute (Chicago)

Pale copper color. Sweet walnut fudge nose. A supple entry leads to a medium-bodied palate displaying dry caramel, brown spice notes, and a dash of warming alcohol on the long, smooth finish. A refreshing, easy-drinking bourbon style. 90 points (Exceptional) January, 2002

Brand Info:

Bulleit

Bulleit Bourbon

One look at a bottle of Bulleit is enough to tell you that this is a product that has taken the frontier spirit of the first American pioneers to heart. Packaged in an old-style flask, Bulleit has a traditional high-rye mashbill (around 30%). The brand was revived in the 1980s by Tom Bulleit, an ex-Marine who saw service in Vietnam. Tom gave up his successful law practice to make whiskey, using a recipe belonging to his great-great-grandfather - the enigmatic Augustus Bulleit.
