Bulleit Barrel Strength Review
All things considered, this high proof bourbon is remarkably well-balanced — more so than any of the other Bulleit expression. The nose is full-on spicy, with sweet undertones of caramelized pineapple. The palate is equally charged, making it a great option for cranking up the ABV in bourbon cocktails. Start with a Boulevardier or sip with a big ice cube.
