Bulleit Distilling Co. has announced the release of its newest offering, the Bulleit 20-Year-Old Straight Rye Whiskey, a limited edition crafted to celebrate the heritage of rye whiskey in America. With a production limit of only 1,776 individually numbered bottles, this release is a nod not only to the rich history of rye as a foundational grain in whiskey-making but also to a significant moment in American history.

Rye whiskey has long been a crucial component of the American distilling landscape, and Bulleit has been at the forefront of its resurgence. The new 20-Year-Old Rye is made from Bulleit’s signature 95% rye mash bill and showcases the work of Nicole Austin, the Director of American Whiskey Liquid Development and Capabilities at Diageo, who oversaw the blending process. The whiskey’s maturation spanned two decades in carefully selected barrels that preserved the distinct rye notes while adding depth and complexity.

"With a rye this mature, the challenge is finding barrels where age adds depth without overwhelming the grain," Austin explained. "We wanted to maintain the spice and structure that characterize Bulleit Rye while revealing new layers of flavor through twenty years of maturation."

The whiskey presents a nose filled with aromas of seasoned oak, baking spices, and dried fruit. On the palate, it unfolds into a rich blend of caramelized sweetness, dark fruits, and spicy notes, leading to a long, satisfying finish.

Bulleit 20-Year-Old Rye Whiskey will be available starting July 2026, and it can be purchased for a suggested retail price of $299 for a 750mL bottle. Consumers interested in reserving this exclusive whiskey can do so through AnyRoad.
