Whiskey Review: Bulleit Rye Whiskey

Introduction We’re back with a pour that helped shape our early days of whiskey tasting: Bulleit 95 Rye Whiskey . Despite its name, this rye is not 95-proof but clocks in at 90 proof. The “95” refers to the mash bill: 95% rye and 5% malted barley, a classic MGP recipe that Bulleit helped popularize. This bottle is a staple on most whiskey shelves and bars, and for good reason: it’s widely available and priced around $28 in states like Ohio. It doesn’t carry an age statement, but industry chatter puts the youngest whiskey in the blend somewhere around four years. We’ve tried a lot of rye since starting the podcast, and going back to Bulleit feels like stepping into a time machine. This was one of the first rye profiles that trained our palates. The big question now: does it still hold up? This review is taken from our episode " Cinderella Man (2005) / Bulleit Rye ." Click the link to listen to this review in audio format.
