Expert Review
7/10Tom Bulleit left a legal career in 1987 to revive a frontier whiskey recipe from his great-great-grandfather Augustus Bulleit, who made bourbon in the 1830s-1860s before vanishing on a delivery trip. One of the highest rye contents among mainstream bourbons — 68% corn, 28% rye, 4% malted barley. The 10 Year Old launched around 2013 as a premium aged extension.
