Bringing the Old to the New: The Birth of Bulleit’s 12-Year-Old Rye
The Bulleit brand has made a name for itself in the whiskey world through its commitment to tradition and quality. It all started with founder Tom Bulleit, who bravely left his job in law to pursue his lifelong passion, reviving a family bourbon recipe dating back to the 1800s. Like its predecessors, the 12-year-old Rye is made with the same grit, boldness, and unwavering commitment to quality that define the brand.
The Whistle of the Rye: What You Can Expect from a Sip
The 12-year-old Rye captures Bulleit’s iconic spiciness and complexity, while also demonstrating an exceptional maturity that can only come from more than a decade of careful aging.
Upon uncorking the bottle, you’ll be struck by a mix of aromas, including a hint of crisp apple softened by a depth of dried fruit and lined with a slight kick of oak. On your first sip, you’ll be met with a well-rounded flavor filled with a blend of honey and pear, with a faint whisper of spice. Its medium to long finish ensures the taste linger long enough to settle and warm you from the inside. Need a little more persuasion? The prominent whiskey critic Fred Minnick hailed the new 12-year-old Rye as nothing short of a “beautiful whiskey.” We couldn’t agree more.

In the very heart of where the magic happens – the Bulleit Distilling Co. in Shelbyville, Kentucky – a wide array of sustainable initiatives are in play, from a rainwater collection system to the use of recyclable materials.
