A Bar-Quality Old Fashioned, Bottled
Bulleit's roots are in cocktail culture, and the Crafted Cocktails line is its answer to the at-home bar: ultra-premium bottled cocktails at true cocktail strength. The Old Fashioned leads with Bulleit's signature high-rye bourbon — 68% corn, 28% rye, 4% malted barley — so the spice survives the sweetening. One retailer (thebarreltap.com) describes the base as Bulleit Rye; the majority of brand and retailer copy, including Bulleit's own materials, cites Kentucky Straight Bourbon — drafted as bourbon, the brand-attested version.
Tasting Notes
Sweet oak, warm nutmeg, and light toffee on the nose with citrus zest; a rich entry of caramel and vanilla joined by toasted oak and zesty orange, with bitters adding structure; a medium, warming finish of toffee and orange peel that dries cleanly. The high-rye edge keeps it from tipping sweet.
How to Enjoy
Pour over one large cube and garnish with an orange twist or cherry — no mixing required. Pair it with its stablemate, the Bulleit Crafted Manhattan, from the Bulleit range.
