Tasting Notes

Bulleit Barrel Strength is an uncut, straight-from-the-barrel bourbon that delivers the brand’s signature high-rye mash bill with maximum intensity. The nose opens with bold aromas of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak accented by baking spice and dried fruit. On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, offering flavors of toffee, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts balanced by cinnamon, clove, and a touch of leather. The high proof adds depth and warmth, carrying into a long, robust finish of oak, spice, and lingering sweetness.

Food Pairings

As a starter, pair it with spiced almonds, charcuterie, or smoked sausage. For a main course, it complements grilled ribeye, barbecued brisket, or braised short ribs. In the cheese course, aged gouda, Parmigiano-Reggiano, or blue cheese stand up to its intensity. For dessert, it pairs beautifully with pecan pie, flourless chocolate cake, or espresso tiramisu.
