Bulleit 10 Year Rye Whiskey (750Ml)

Bulleit 10 Year Rye takes the brand's well-known rye recipe and gives it a full decade in oak. The mash bill is 95% rye and 5% malted barley. Every batch rests at least ten years in new charred American white oak. It is non-chill filtered and bottled at 91.2 proof, or 45.6% ABV.

Bulleit launched it in 2024 as a permanent part of its new 10 Year range. The aim was to show off bold, spicy, rye-forward flavor. Those extra years also round off the edges, so the spice feels steady rather than sharp.

Nose the glass and rich caramel and toffee come first. Behind them sits a soft, buttery rye note, with a touch of orange peel. On the palate you'll taste ripe pear, dry oak and full, round vanilla. The rye spice is there, but it never shouts. The finish keeps that spice going in a long, warm fade.

It did well with judges right away. The rye won a Gold Medal at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. At the 2024 International Wine & Spirits Competition it scored 98 points and a Gold Outstanding medal.

Sip it neat to taste what ten years in oak can do. A few drops of water can bring the pear forward. It also makes a serious Manhattan or Old Fashioned. For food, try smoked brisket, aged cheddar, pecans or dark chocolate.

If you already enjoy Bulleit Rye, this is the natural next step. Rye fans who want more depth without a big jump in proof will feel right at home.
