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!

Take it from a Yank. This is nice stuff with some cubes. For the price, it's difficult to beat. I'm sipping some 10 year Eagle Rare and wondering what it's got that Bulleit doesn't. Very nice!
Enjoying it unmodified ; straight.
The oranges and the spice are quite prominent as is the vanilla,but that's normal for American oak. I had the 40º ABV when it first came out a couple of years back and I'm glad they changed their mind by exporting the 45º,cause it's got a lot more bite. Overall a very nice and rewarding bourbon. A friend brought me back a bottle of Rye,so that's next on the tasting list.
This is a pretty good bourbon overall, but not as great as some others I've tried before.
As an Irishman who likes to try anything going within reason, this Bulleit Bourbon came under my nose one night. First thing, JD is rubbish. I'm a fervent lover of our whiskeys siding ever so mildly with Single Pot Still varieties (Green Spot and Redbreast). That being said, this is not too bad. Smells of USA but quite smooth. More sweet than spicy. Doesnt cut like a Irish blend but lacks character.
