Bulleit 95 10 Year American Straight Rye Whiskey

American Straight Rye Whiskey | 45.6% ABV | 91.2 Proof | 750mL | Minimum 10 Year Age Statement | 95% Rye Mash Bill

Process & Profile

Bulleit 95 10 Year American Straight Rye Whiskey takes the brand’s signature rye recipe and extends its maturation to a minimum of 10 years, creating a deeper and more oak-driven expression while maintaining the bold spice that defines Bulleit Rye.

The mash bill contains 95% rye and 5% malted barley, one of the defining characteristics of the Bulleit rye whiskey lineup. Each batch is matured for at least 10 years in new, charred American white oak barrels, allowing the whiskey to develop richer caramel, toffee, vanilla, fruit, and seasoned oak flavors around its naturally spicy rye foundation.

Bottled at 91.2 proof, the extended maturation brings additional softness and complexity without overwhelming the grain. Pear-like fruit, sweet vanilla, and dry buttery oak balance the rye spice, creating a mature whiskey that remains distinctly recognizable as Bulleit 95 Rye.

What Makes It Special

Bulleit 95 10 Year Rye stands apart through the combination of an exceptionally rye-forward mash bill and a decade of barrel maturation. With 95% rye, the recipe emphasizes the grain’s naturally spicy, structured character rather than relying on a higher percentage of corn for sweetness.

A minimum of 10 years in new charred American white oak adds greater depth to the whiskey, developing caramel, toffee, vanilla, fruit, and mature oak while rounding out some of the sharper edges associated with younger rye.

The result offers a different experience from standard Bulleit 95 Rye. The familiar spice remains prominent, but longer maturation introduces a softer texture, deeper oak character, and additional layers of fruit and sweetness, making it particularly appealing to rye drinkers looking for a more mature expression.

How to Enjoy

Enjoy Bulleit 95 10 Year American Straight Rye Whiskey neat to experience its balance of rye spice, caramel, pear, vanilla, and buttery oak. Allowing the whiskey to rest briefly in the glass can help open its sweeter toffee and fruit aromas.

It can also be served over one large ice cube, where gradual dilution softens the spice and brings additional vanilla and caramel forward.

Its mature rye character also works particularly well in spirit-forward cocktails such as a Manhattan or Old Fashioned, where the high-rye mash bill provides enough spice and structure to remain noticeable alongside the other ingredients.
