Bulleit Bourbon Barrel Strength 750 ml

Bulleit Bourbon Barrel Strength takes the brand's signature high-rye mash bill — roughly 68% corn, 28% rye, and 4% malted barley, well above the rye content in most bourbons — and bottles it undiluted, straight from the barrel rather than cut down to the standard 90 proof of regular Bulleit. That higher rye content is already what gives standard Bulleit its spicier, drier character compared to wheated bourbons; at full barrel strength, that spice gets a lot more intense, alongside deeper caramel and oak. Exact proof shifts by batch since it isn't standardized, so check the label on the bottle in hand rather than assuming a fixed number.

How to drink Bulleit Barrel Strength

Add water gradually until it opens up — barrel strength bourbons this hot almost always taste better cut down closer to standard proof. It's also a serious upgrade in an Old Fashioned if you want more spice and structure than the regular bottling gives.
