Bulleit Frontier Whiskey announced the launch of its first-ever Bottled-in-Bond bourbon, distilled and aged entirely at the Bulleit Distilling Co. in Shelbyville, Ky. 

Distilled in spring 2017 — the same year the state-of-the-art distillery opened — and aged for seven years, this expression marks a pivotal milestone for expanding Bulleit’s portfolio and demonstrates the brand’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship, the company says. 

Produced under the strict standards of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, Bulleit Bottled-in-Bond embodies the brand’s signature high-rye mash bill delivering a bold, distinctive flavor, the company notes. Aged in federally bonded warehouses, and bottled at 100 proof, it adheres to the exacting requirements of the Bottled-in-Bond Act, ensuring exceptional quality and consistency, it says.

“Introducing our first Bottled-in-Bond bourbon, made entirely at the Bulleit Distilling Co. is a proud achievement for our team,” said Delicia James, lead whiskey blender at Diageo, in a statement. “With our signature high-rye mash bill and seven years of aging under Bottled-in-Bond standards, this bourbon delivers a richness and complexity we’re excited to share. It’s a whiskey that truly showcases the best of what we do here in Shelbyville — bold, balanced, and crafted with care.”

Jesse Damashek, senior vice president of North American whiskeys at Diageo, added: “The past year has been a defining one for Bulleit, and the release of our first Bottled-in-Bond bourbon adds a meaningful new chapter to our story. Bulleit Bottled-in-Bond is more than a celebration of craftsmanship, it’s a testament to our commitment to innovation and to showcasing the exceptional quality of whiskey crafted at our distillery in Shelbyville.”

Ideal for savoring neat, on the rocks, or as the foundation for bold cocktails, Bulleit Bottled-in-Bond offers a rich, layered experience: aromas of spice and toasted oak, a palate of maple sweetness and nutmeg warmth, and a smooth, lingering butterscotch finish, the company says. Going forward, this expression will continue as a limited-time release, with the frequency and timing determined by The Bulleit blending team to ensure each bottling meets the highest standards of quality and character, it notes.

Packaged in a 750-ml bottle, Bulleit Bottled-in-Bond is available nationwide with a suggested retail price of $54.99.
