Process & Profile

Bulleit 95 20 Year Cask Strength Straight Rye Whiskey is an extraordinary limited release created in 2026 as America celebrated its 250th anniversary. To honor the milestone and the historic role rye played in early American whiskey, Bulleit released exactly 1,776 individually numbered bottles, a direct reference to 1776 and the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

This is also the oldest straight rye whiskey ever released by Bulleit. Made from the brand’s signature 95% rye and 5% malted barley mash bill, the whiskey was distilled in Lawrenceburg, Indiana and matured for two decades in Kentucky warehouses. Careful barrel selection allowed the whiskey to develop substantial mature oak and dark-fruit complexity while maintaining the bold spice and structure that define Bulleit Rye. It is bottled at natural cask strength at an intense 68.5% ABV (137 proof).
