Bulleit Bourbon is an American brand of straight bourbon whiskey characterized by its high rye content at approximately 30%, the absence of phenol alcohol and aging of at least six years. [ [http://www.cocktailatlas.com/Bulleit_Bourbon/Bulleit.htm Bulleit Bourbon: The Most American of Spirits] , Miller, accessed on 8 Sept 2007] The design of the flask is reminiscent of an old-fashioned brown medicine flask with raised lettering and a cork stopper. The bourbon is 45% alcohol by volume, or 90 proof.

History

According to company lore, the first batch of Bulleit was first made in the 1800s by Augustus Bulleit, but discontinued after his death. In 1987, the great-great-grandson of the original creator, Tom Bulleit created the first modern-day batch, which was introduced to US markets in 1999, and Australia, UK and Germany in 2000.

[ [http://www.alcoholreviews.com/SPIRITS/bourbons-evan-bulleit.shtml Bulleit Bourbon and Evan Williams Single Barrel Bourbon] from Alcoholreviews.com, accessed on 8 Sept 2007] Following an acquisition of Seagram, the Bulleit brand is now owned by Diageo.
