Enjoy Bulleit Bourbon like the Americans do! Previously it has been bottled at 40% ABV for the UK market, but now you can get the Frontier Whiskey at 45% ABV, just like they have in Kentucky. A stunning whiskey that won a Gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2012.
Give this a go in a smashing Mint Julep cocktail following the recipe below!
60ml Bulleit Bourbon
20ml Simple syrup (1 part sugar to 1 part water)
8-10 mint leaves, and three mint sprigs.
Pack a julep cup with crushed ice so it can start getting nice and cold. In a mixing glass, combine the bourbon, syrup, and mint leaves. Use a muddler to lightly bruise the leaves in the glass to release their flavour, then strain the contents into your julep cup. Garnish with three nice big sprigs of mint, (give them a little pat first, to release their minty aromas!) – then stick a straw in close by.
Bright with orange zest, toasted oak and vanilla.
Further orange notes, followed by some warming winter spices and a hint of tobacco leaf.
Smooth and spicy.
A new style of Bulleit (at least for us), but it's still as brilliant as ever!

For the money, this is the best there is, the spice from the rye giving it a good balance
This was my go to Bourbon for years. But when Diageo took the production in-house (I have been working at Diageo, I was actually working at Diageo at this time) It was a big dissapointment. The depth with rich rye and pepper was lost, replaced by a thin medicine tasting alcohol that only had hints back to what it once was. Sorry really Sorry Bulleit, but I have moved on. I sometimes drink the old stuff at a friends house. He has a few of old bottles... It was a great whiskey. It was my favourite bourbon.
Just the perfect evening tiple, the taste lingers until the next one.
When i'm in the mood for a bourbon this is my go-to and I'd rate it above similarly priced competition such as Makers Mark and Buffalo Trace, though they're all pretty good.
I just think that the stuff is good. Not mind blowingly great, but certainly quality. And I'm a penniless, desperate, hungry outlaw cowboy at heart, and a romantic to boot, and they just capture that no nonsense Frontier vibe I'm after...I get the sense that Bulleit would have been just an everyday Frontier whisky, nothing special, in a nothing special bottle, drank by a nothin' special man with a nothin' special life in 1866 Tombstone, and they have captured that and delivered it to my modern da nothin' special existence, and I'm willing to pay for that
