Bulleit Rye

I really enjoyed this rye whiskey. It`s one of the best I have tasted for the price! I think their bouron one is rather good too. It`s hard to find this whiskey on special offer as it sells so well. The rye is exceptional on this expression. I prefer it to the bouron one they do ... A classic Rye!

I love rye whiskey, and this one ticks all the boxes. I'd say the tasting notes are pretty accurate which is why last bottle of this didn't last long! A tad expensive here in the UK but worth it.

Like many drams, particularly American whiskies, fresh out of the bottle this is thin and harsh.
Give it time.
After breathing well and sipped at warm room temperature, it opens up, becomes soft, fragrant and sweet. There is still a lot of "heat" from the rye, particularly in the cheeks, but the tongue is kept busy and the aftertaste, while short, is pleasant. I tend to think of rye as a US alternative to pleated Islays.

For the price this is perfectly reasonable and while there is little complexity, the limited range of tastes are nice and "friendly".
In short, I like it. The final measure of the aftertaste actually has that "barley sugar" sweetness as Ballantine's.

This Rye Whiskey is delicious on it's own but it makes an absolutely fantastic old-fashioned. I use cane sugar syrup and orange bitters to make mine.

I mainly drink islay's and bourbons so tried this for something different and I wasn't disappointed.
This is really good stuff and unlike anything else I've tried.
Sweet cherries and vanilla on the nose with a bit of spiciness.
Very strong taste of spice, powerful hot chilli spice, yet it's also really smooth alcohol-wise considering the strength.
Sweet fruit, spearmint and eucalyptus, strong oak and pine wood on the finish almost smokey.
Fantastic stuff for the money.

This was my very first rye whiskey and it is so very good.
Well worth a try if you’ve never tried a rye before.

I like this.
Sweet with a touch of dry bitterness at the end of a long finish.
I find it very woody and leathery.
Liquorice and some fruitiness that I can't really pin down.
Even a saltiness but I wasn't getting that till my third glass.
A drop of water brings out a nice little syrupy taste which goes nice with the mild oilyness.
The price is unbelievable for the quality.
Very good rye.

… and it's a joyous experience. It packs a punch first off, then in the big flavour profile, spice, vanilla, citrus fruits, cherries all combine to make a sipping rye which develops slowly and leaves you with a delicious finish and the urge to pour another glass. This is my first bottle – it wouldn't be my last.

It taste like I think a really good rye whiskey should taste.
