Bulleit 12-Year-Old Rye Whiskey (2024) Review

Of all the products I’ve seen released in the American whiskey market during my time as a spirits writer, Bulleit 12 Year Rye is one that has always stood out in my mind–not because I particularly loved the first release of it in 2019, but because I was always surprised it didn’t make a bigger splash at the time. Even then, the thought of a 12-year-old age stated MGP rye in wide release, for a mere $50 price tag, seemed like an objectively great deal.

Regardless, what we have here is an extra-aged example of the classic 95% rye, 5% malted barley rye whiskey recipe from MGP, a recipe that the original Bulleit Rye helped to make famous in the first place when it debuted back in 2011. The 2010s were essentially rye whiskey’s coming out party as a result, taking the spirit from dusty back shelves and thrusting it into a star player in the mixology world in particular.

On the nose, the first impressions here are sweet, with warm caramel and honey, flanked by bright citrus that also reads as sweet/candied, with orange and lemon character. I’m also getting some pumpernickel bread announcing the rye, along with a little mint, cedar and slightly musty oak–just a hint of rickhouse funk. More grassy and herbal tones peek through the background, with some black pepper and slight clove spice.
