Bulleit Bourbon - The Whiskey Roundup

 Bulleit Bourbon was my first real whiskey crush. Bulleit is super versatile, and with the six offerings they now offer, including ryes, it can meet your needs for any drink whether it be neat, rocks, or in a cocktail. So, it only made

Bulleit Bourbon and Rye

sense to feature Bulleit in the Whiskey Roundup. 

Bulleit Rye is my favorite rye out there. It's so smooth and drinkable. I have found myself wondering where the bottle went, so I have to be careful.

I was so damn excited to get my hands on a bottle of Bulleit 12 Year Rye when it came out. It did not last long it was so good. Bulleit keeps on surprising me with new offerings.

My favorite cocktail and Bulleit. When was the last time you had a Bulleit Old Fashioned? It's pretty amazing! 

I have plans later. Delicious, beautiful plans. #bourbon #oldfashioned #bulleit #bulleitbourbon pic.twitter.com/JF1Vn62MrX

Whiskey and writing, especially Bulleit bourbon and writing. They seem to go together maybe better than coffee and writing. I have a full week of writing planned out, so I'll have to give it a try. 

Have a great night, all.#HandWritten #Bulleit #Bourbon #ChristmasPreParty pic.twitter.com/UFzzR7LZ8N

The BLT, A Summery Cocktail

Summer is here and it is getting hot outside. Hot enough to need a good summer cocktail. Last night, I tried out the BLT cocktail and it was definitely refreshing on a hot summer night outside on the patio, with the bourbon, lemon, and tonic water to cool you down. Today, I'm sharing the recipe with you, because I think you'll want to try it out! 

BLT Cocktail

The Recipe

The Tools

• Cocktail Glass
• Jigger
• Cutting Board
• Knife

The Ingredients

• 2 oz Bourbon
• Tonic Water
• Lemon
• Ice

The Method

Fill a cocktail glass with ice. Then, using the small side of the jigger, add 2 oz of bourbon to your cocktail glass. For this recipe, I am using Bulleit Bourbon. Next, top off the glass with tonic water and give it a stir. Finally add your lemon wedge and give it a final stir. 

It's that simple. 3 ingredients for a refreshing summer cocktail. If you want it to be a little bit more like a spiked lemonade, you could a some simple syrup, but it honestly doesn't need it. Some mint would go really well with this too.

Slainte!

Bulleit, My First Bourbon Crush

Bulleit Bourbon

Like most American boys, my first whiskey experience was with Jack Daniels and Jim Beam. But then weekend in college, visiting my brother in Austin, TX, he introduced me to Bulleit Bourbon. Bulleit was different, Bulleit was good. Back in those days, it was primarily a mixer. Bourbon and ginger ale, a drink we dubbed "The Bonassin." My whiskey tastes have matured since those days, and I like my whiskey neat or on the rocks. The Bulleit family of whiskeys is still one of my favorites, and is always restocked on the shelf. It only seems fitting to feature Bulleit Bourbon as my first whiskey review.

About the Whiskey:

Bulleit Bourbon is bottled at 45% ABV Bourbon. It is distilled at the Four Roses Distillery in Lawrenceburg, KY for the Diageo Company. The mash bill is noted for its high rye content, at almost 28% of the mash bill. It is barrel aged for at least 6 years.

Appearance: 

Bulleit Bourbon is amber in color.

Nose: 

Bulleit Bourbon has aromas of oak and sweet vanilla

Taste: 

I really like the flavor profile of this bourbon. Bulleit Bourbon has sweet and vanilla flavors and notes of spice.

Overall:

On the finish, Bulleit Bourbon gives a big flavor splash of vanilla and some maple. The spice is elevated just before the finish, giving off a flavor of almost pepper!
