Bulleit Bottled in Bond Bourbon
Bulleit Frontier Whiskey has announced the launch of its first Bottled-in-Bond bourbon, marking a significant milestone in its expansion. Distilled in Spring 2017 at the Bulleit Distilling Company in Shelbyville, Kentucky, and aged for seven years, this expression follows the strict guidelines of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. The bourbon is bottled at 100 proof and represents the brand’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
Bold, Balanced, and Crafted with Care
This release showcases the brand’s signature high-rye mash bill. The bourbon offers aromas of spice and toasted oak, a palate featuring maple sweetness and nutmeg warmth, and a smooth, lingering butterscotch finish. The new bourbon earned a 91-point rating at the 2024 International Wine & Spirits Competition.
Delicia James, Lead Whiskey Blender at Diageo said “Introducing our first Bottled-in-Bond bourbon, made entirely at the Bulleit Distilling Company is a proud achievement for our team. With our signature high-rye mash bill and seven years of aging under Bottled-in-Bond standards, this bourbon delivers a richness and complexity we’re excited to share. It’s a whiskey that truly showcases the best of what we do here in Shelbyville—bold, balanced, and crafted with care.”
Bulleit Bottled in Bond: A New Chapter for the Distillery
