Bulleit 10 Year Aged Rye Review
If it pains us a bit to highlight such a mainstream sourced rye (MGP 95/5), what can we say? It’s delicious. Strong rye notes on the nose with an equal balance between spicy and sweet on the palate; toffee, buttered pecan, and orchard fruit leading toward a lingering finish of oak, though never tannic. A great value pick, perfect for a spendier cocktail, though still worth sipping neat.
