Bulleit 95 Rye is one of the defining ryes of the modern American whiskey revival. Built on a high rye mash bill of 95% rye and 5% malted barley, it is distilled at MGP in Indiana to Bulleit’s proprietary specifications and aged in deeply charred new American oak for at least four years. The result is a bold, spice forward straight rye with the depth bartenders reach for and the smoothness sippers appreciate. A versatile workhorse for Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, and Sazeracs alike.
