In this tasting, we dive into Bulleit Bourbon, a whiskey with a personal significance as the one that opened my eyes to the diverse flavors of whiskey. It's a high-rye bourbon with 68% corn, 28% rye, and 4% malted barley, and though it may not be everyone's favorite, it holds a sweet spot for me. The whiskey presents a nice copper color, thick legs, and a nose full of caramel, vanilla, and spice. On the palate, it's warm and sweet upfront, with cinnamon, honey, and fruit on the finish, showing a bit of complexity for its price range. The finish is medium with lingering spice and smoothness. Overall, I rate it a solid 3—it's a good introduction to the high-rye bourbon market, delivering balanced spice and boldness. Cheers!
