Special features: This bourbon aged for ten years in charred American white oak barrels, a rarity within the Bulleit range. The limited selection of particularly high-quality barrels gives the bourbon a profound character with intense smoothness, stylishly highlighting its high rye content. Awarded the gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2015, this reflects a careful extension of the aging period, giving the original a distinct expression.

Nose: Vanilla sweetness with hints of dried fruits and gentle spice.
