Bulleit 12 Year Old Rye Whiskey (750ml)

Review Date: 04/2024
It feels like a lifetime since we've seen well aged MGP stocks at reasonable prices, but after you blink a few times, you'll realize it's still possible. MGP's world famous 95/5 Rye mashbill really changed the game for the rye category. After the whiskey boom really caught fire and the world blew through all of the aged stocks from Indiana in a hurry, we've seen only a very few cherry barrels still kicking about these last few years and they're always in the triple digit price point. Bulleit, with their scale and influence have managed a coup with this one. The perfect blend of spicy rye and mellow caramel this is a super easy sipper neat. At 46% ABV, it has enough oomph to deliver major flavor to any rye cocktails or stand up to a casual cube of ice without giving up the ghost. The palate is a beautiful combination of sweet mint and dusty wood. The finish lingers long and sweetly spicy. It's my deepest hope that with this release Bulleit is going to usher in a return to sanity in whiskey pricing as this bottle now represents some of the highest quality to price ratios we've seen in American whiskey in years.

Notes
Bulleit, the nation's number-one rye whiskey, added a 12 year to their lineup back in 2019 and it sold out instantly. The same 95% rye, 5% malted barley mashbill is used here, and longer aging provides more smoothness, richness, and a longer finish than the standard rye. Now in 2024, the blend includes whiskies up to 17 years old and remarkably, the price is little changed despite the inflation we've seen over the last 5 years. There is virtually no American whisky available at 12 years old under the $50 mark. This makes this latest release from Diageo one of the best values in the country.
