This decade-matured rye whiskey presents a refined evolution of Bulleit’s signature bold spice. Extended aging brings rich depth and balanced complexity to the high-rye profile — delivered with smoothness, fruit nuance, and oak-inspired warmth that appeal to both rye purists and adventurous whiskey drinkers.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Bulleit 10 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey hails from The Bulleit Distilling Co., a brand long associated with rye-forward American whiskey. Built on the iconic 95% rye / 5% malted barley mash bill, this expression is aged a minimum of 10 years in new, charred American white oak barrels, allowing the spirit to develop substantial integration of wood influence alongside its inherent spice character. The result is a rye whiskey that’s broader and more layered than typical younger rye expressions, reflecting both time in oak and careful maturation practices.
Bulleit’s rye, historically produced in partnership with well-respected distillation partners, is renowned for its bold rye grain character — a hallmark that this age-stated release amplifies while balancing richness and approachability.

Tasting Profile
Nose:
Expressive and inviting with pear-like fruitiness, caramel, toffee, and dry, buttery oak, underscored by classic rye spice that signals both age and character.
Palate:
Full-flavored and harmonious, with spice-forward rye notes, hints of vanilla, lemon zest, and baking spices, and a subtle mineral edge that adds depth without overpowering. The long barrel time contributes texture and weight to the palate.
Finish:
Clean but persistent, with gentle oak warmth and spiced cereal echoes that taper into a lingering and satisfying conclusion.
