Tasting Notes

Nose

Rich oak, dark fruits, dried roses, rum cake, grilled peach, cherry hard candy — the 10 years of ageing adding depth to the high-rye spice

Palate

Caramel, vanilla, dried fruit, leather, light oak — the high rye providing a spicy backbone throughout, approachable and easy-sipping

Finish

Fruit leather and dry baking spices with lingering smokiness — the 28% rye adding complexity through to the end

Expert Review

7/10

Tom 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.
