Bulleit Bourbon '87 750ml

Bulleit ’87 Whiskey 750ml: Bourbon and Rye Meet at the Frontier

Bulleit ’87 brings the brand’s two best-known whiskey styles together in one modern American blend. Introduced in 2026 as Bulleit’s first new core expression since Bulleit 95 Rye, it combines Kentucky bourbon with Indiana rye for a pour that balances caramelized sweetness, toasted oak, and Bulleit’s signature spice.

The name honors 1987—the year Bulleit was founded—and is not an age statement. Both whiskey components are matured for at least four years, finished separately with toasted American oak and French oak staves, then blended and bottled at 90 proof.

Tasting notes

• Nose: Caramel, vanilla, toasted wood, and warm baking spice.

• Palate: Brown sugar and oak meet cinnamon and a lively rye-pepper edge.

• Finish: Balanced and warming with lingering caramel, toasted sweetness, and clean spice.

How to enjoy it

Taste Bulleit ’87 neat to follow the handoff from bourbon sweetness to rye spice, or add a large cube for a softer oak profile. Its built-in balance makes it a natural fit for an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or Whiskey Sour. This is an approachable new chapter for longtime Bulleit fans—and an easy introduction for anyone curious about bourbon-and-rye blends.
