Bulleit has been blazing trails in American whiskey since its founding, built on a pioneering spirit that dates to 1987 and a willingness to push past what the category expects. The Louisville distillery has spent decades refining its distinctive high-rye bourbon and its rye whiskey, and its newest release leans on modern techniques to explore what those two whiskeys can do together.

Bulleit ’87 Whiskey is a pioneering recipe that blends the distillery’s bourbon and rye, carefully balanced, then finishes the blend with select toasted staves. The toasting draws out enhanced brown sugar character and hints of baking spice, yielding a whiskey that is rich and complex while staying remarkably smooth. It was crafted for the ultimate sipping experience, and it is at its best neat or over a single rock.
