Bulleit Bourbon Rye 70cl, 45%

Description

Bulleit Bourbon Rye 70cl, 45% corresponds to the 70cl bottling commonly marketed as Bulleit Rye or Bulleit ’95’ Rye, a straight rye whiskey rather than a bourbon. The official Bulleit product page identifies it as Bulleit 95 Rye Straight American Rye Whiskey at 45% ABV, while UK retail listings confirm the 70cl format.

What makes this bottle especially appealing is the way it delivers a classic high-rye style with broad versatility. Bulleit presents it as an award-winning straight rye whiskey with “unparalleled spice and complexity,” and notes that it was released in 2011. The very high rye content gives it a drier, spicier, more cocktail-friendly personality than many softer American whiskeys, making it especially attractive for drinks such as the Manhattan, Old Fashioned and Sazerac.

Why Choose Bulleit Bourbon Rye 70cl, 45%

Bulleit Bourbon Rye 70cl, 45% stands out because it offers a bold rye-led flavour profile without becoming difficult to drink. The combination of 95% rye, 45% ABV and the brand’s well-known frontier-style presentation gives it stronger spice, more structure and more cocktail presence than many entry-level whiskeys, while still keeping the smooth vanilla, honey and oak notes that make it approachable neat or over ice.

Ideal For.

This bottle is ideal for rye whiskey drinkers who enjoy spice, oak, vanilla and honey in a drier, more assertive American whiskey style.

It is ideal for classic whiskey cocktails, especially Manhattans, Old Fashioneds and Sazeracs, where the high rye mash bill gives extra definition and lift.

It is also ideal for gifting or for adding a recognisable modern rye staple to a serious spirits shelf. This is an inference based on its award history, long-running market presence and strong identity within the Bulleit range.

Collector’s Note

Bulleit Bourbon Rye 70cl, 45% is not a limited-edition collector bottle, but it has strong shelf appeal because it represents one of the best-known modern rye whiskeys in international retail. Its interest comes from category importance, the very high 95% rye mash bill and the role it plays as a benchmark cocktail rye rather than from scarcity alone. For many enthusiasts, bottles like this matter because they define a style and remain useful reference points in any broader American whiskey collection.
