Bulleit is now one of the most important bourbon brands on the market. Owned by the giant Diageo since 2000, Bulleit was based on its sister distillery Four Roses until 2016, before finally receiving a new 120-hectare maxi-plant in Shelbyville, Kentucky. <br><br> This 10 years of course still goes back to the Four Roses production, and perfectly embodies the mix that made the brand loved and hated: a 68% corn, 28% rye, and 4% barley malt mash bill. Classic bourbon aging in American oak barrels, iconic bottle, 45.6% alcohol content slightly higher than usual.
good intensity: to the classic mix of spices given by the high percentage of rye is added a greater complexity of vanilla, caramel, wood, a slight smokiness given by the toasted barrels, and a pinch of peppery. Pleasant without being cloying.
soft and warm, it offers notes of candied apricot, caramelized orange, dried fruit, and white pepper. Sweet but clean.
dry and warm finish: notes of cayenne pepper stimulate the tongue and an ashy residue dries the palate prolonging the aforementioned sensations of vanilla, wood, and spices.
The Bullet 10YO is obviously the maximum expression of the Bulleit model: either you love it or you hate it. The approximately four years longer than the classic orange label adds structure and complexity, without however upsetting the successful basic formula. This 10YO is a bourbon that deserves a more careful and dedicated taste: it will give great satisfaction to fans of the brand, but probably will not make the most bitter detractors change their mind.
