Bulleit Frontier Whiskey is well-known for its award-winning whiskeys, including Bulleit Bourbon, Bulleit Rye, Bulleit Rye 10, Bulleit Bourbon 10, and Bulleit Barrel Strength. But, with all those whiskeys, the brand had never released a bottled-in-bond bourbon. That is until now.

Distilled in the spring of 2017, Bulleit Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon was made with the brand’s same high-rye mash bill and was distilled and entirely matured at Bulleit Distilling Company in Shelbyville, Kentucky. While bottled-in-bond whiskeys only need to mature for four years in federally bonded warehouses, Bulleit’s expression spent a full seven years aging.

The result is a 100-proof, award-winning whiskey that the brand says begins with a nose of toasted oak and spice. The palate is a mix of warming nutmeg and maple sweetness. The finish is smooth and lingering and ends with a final flourish of butterscotch candy.

“Introducing our first Bottled-in-Bond bourbon, made entirely at the Bulleit Distilling Company is a proud achievement for our team,” Delicia James, Lead Whiskey Blender at Diageo said in a press release.

“With our signature high-rye mash bill and seven years of aging under Bottled-in-Bond standards, this bourbon delivers a richness and complexity we’re excited to share. It’s a whiskey that truly showcases the best of what we do here in Shelbyville—bold, balanced, and crafted with care.”

Fans of the timeless Manhattan cocktail know that it isn't finished until it's garnished with a cherry or two.

You need a high-quality, flavorful cherry for your cocktail. Especially if a renowned bourbon distillery makes it. Luckily, the folks at Old Forester have you covered. That's because the iconic brand recently announced the launch of the perfect complement to your go-to whiskey cocktail: Old Forester Cocktail Cherries.
