Bulleit Bourbon Frontier Whiskey 70cl
A bold and spicy bourbon from America's Bulleit distillery
Description
Bulleit Bourbon Frontier Whiskey
The original creator of Bulleit Bourbon, Augustus Bulleit created the first batch of Bulleit bourbon around 1830 (according to his great-great-grandson Tom Bulleit). Now owned by Diageo, it is produced in two distilleries in Kentucky (one in Lebanon and the other in Shelbyville). The inspiration remains from the old family recipe though.
It is characterised by having a higher than usual ratio of rye in its mash bill (at around 28%). The remainder being 68% corn and 4% malted barley. It's then aged for at least six years. This higher rye ratio gives a bold, spicy character to the Bourbon - whilst remaining distincively clean and smooth.
This amber coloured bourbon opens up with a bright aroma, a gentle spice, orange zest and sweet oaky vanilla aromas. The palate is smooth, and has more orange notes joined by maple, oak and nutmeg. A hint of tobacco leaf lingers through to the finish, which is long, dry and smoothly spicy.

Perfect Serve
Easily enjoyed straight up, or with ginger ale - we particularly liked this mixed with cola.
Take a highball glass, or mason jar and add a few cubes of ice. Pour in 35ml of the bourbon and 15ml of fresh lemon juice. Stir gently, then fill the glass with your choice of cola (we like Franklin & Sons Cola). Garnish with a wedge of fresh lime.
