The views, opinions, and tasting notes are 100% my own. Barrel : 2-E1-0096 Proof: 104 (52 ABV) Age: 9 years Price: 59.95 The neck tag that accompanied this bottle did not include the barrel number, so I sent the lot code printed on the bottle to Bulleit & asked for some specs on this particular bottle. SCORE: 90/100 (A-) *Disclosure: This Bulleit Bourbon Barrel Strength sample was graciously sent to me by the company for the purposes of this review. Liquor store owners looking to buy a single barrel had the option to travel to Bulleit’s facility or receive samples in the mail.

Distilled in Kentucky from the highest quality ingredients and combined into a single batch from select barrels, this variant is a barrel strength version of Bulleit Bourbon with the same high-rye mash bill and no additional water. I get so many similarities in this and the current Bulleit release to OGD that it has to be more than mere coincidence. The subtlety and complexity of Bulleit Bourbon come from its unique blend of rye, corn, and barley malt, along with special strains of yeast and pure Kentucky. It’s absolutely true that Bulleit (Diageo) could be sourcing from multiple sources to make their bourbon and if that’s true then I feel like a significant portion has to be from Beam. Whoever distilled this excellent high rye whiskey could have made a mint releasing this cask strength offering themselves.

The concepts were all somewhat similar: Buy barrels, establish a single barrel program, create unique packaging and do some limited marketing.
