Bulleit 87 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey delivers the signature high-rye character of Bulleit Bourbon in a smoother, lower-proof expression. Crafted from a mash bill featuring a high percentage of rye and aged in new charred American oak barrels, this bourbon offers a balanced profile of rich caramel, vanilla, baking spice, and toasted oak.
Bottled at 87 proof, it provides a softer, more approachable sipping experience while maintaining the bold spice and complexity that have made Bulleit a favorite among bourbon enthusiasts and bartenders alike.
