Bulleit 12 year old (2024 Release), 46%

Price: 55 Issue: Fall 2024 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Rye Whiskey

Dried fruit, cranberry, and orange peel kick the nose off, eventually joined by woodsy scents like cedar and musty attic. The palate is a pleasant continuation of these notes, with accents of cherry cough drop, milk chocolate, and some sweet cinnamon heat. The finish is well-spiced and brings chocolate-covered cherries to the fore, making for a neat thruway from beginning to end.
