Post Views: 735

One of Kentucky’s largest distillers is adding a new whiskey to its lineup.

Bulleit, which has Kentucky distilleries in Shelbyville and Lebanon, is releasing Bulleit American Single Malt. The new whiskey is distilled with a mash bill of 100% malted barley and aged in charred new American white oak barrels, according to a news release from Bulleit.

It is 90 proof and, according to the tasting notes, has a nose of sweet vanilla and toasted oak. On the palate, it’s light and fruity with hints of red fruit and pear, and a finish of oaky caramel and subtle cocoa notes.

Bulleit American Single Malt is now available in stores throughout the country as well as at the Bulleit visitor center in Shelbyville. The suggested retail price is $59.99. For more details on where to purchase, visit bulleit.com/where-to-buy

The new malt whiskey comes in a flattened oval bottle similar to the iconic Bulleit bourbon bottle, made this time, however, out of green recycled glass.

Jesse Damashek, the Senior Vice President of Whiskies & Liqueurs at Diageo, shares in a statement, “Bulleit American Single Malt introduces Bulleit’s continuous innovation and sustainability commitment into this new exciting category that is bound to cause ripples in the whiskey industry for the foreseeable future. With a 100% malted barley mash bill, and a noticeable green bottle resulting from recycled post-consumer glass use, this exemplary whiskey represents numerous new approaches for the brand. I am convinced we have managed to create a unique American Single Malt that will be treasured and adored by whiskey fanatics everywhere.”

It’s worth noting that the malt whiskey, despite not qualifying as a Scotch because it is not Scottish-made, forms the most recent part of Bulleit Frontier Whiskey’s inventive experimentation with flavor, maturity, and overall finish, as per the press release.

Bulleit, which is owned by global spirits giant Diageo, opted for a recycled glass bottle as part of the company’s commitment to sustainability. This initiative includes their first carbon-neutral distillery in Lebanon which uses 100% renewable energy.
