BULLEIT WHISKEY GUIDE

WHISKEY ORIGINS: WHAT IS WHISKEY?

Whisk(e)y is a spirit that has been around for over 600 years. Made all over the world

- the variations in flavor and blend represent the unique regional distilling

process.

AGING WHISKEY

Although it's not required in all cases, many whiskies are aged in barrels, which contribute to the spirit's dark color and flavor. The type of barrel, aging length and climate will all have an impact on how the whisk(e)y will look and taste.

Bulleit Bourbon Whiskey

BOURBON: DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOURBON AND WHISKEY

Bourbon can only be produced in the United States (not just Kentucky). It's made from a mash bill of at least 51% corn and then matured in a brand new charred oak barrel. The inspiration for the name of this traditionally southern spirit is still debated: it was either inspired by Bourbon County, Kentucky or Bourbon Street in New Orleans. This is what makes whiskey, “bourbon”.

Bulleit Rye Whiskey

RYE: DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RYE AND BOURBON
