Bulleit Frontier Whiskey - A treat to behold!
Lately, I've been getting in to drinking bourbons. Why it's taken so damned long
to make their aquaintance, I don't know.
A buddy/coworker told me about Bulleit. So while I was out shopping my local liquor store, I spied the cool looking
bottle. I bought one and brought home knowing that my friend had spoken quite
highly of the quality and taste of the whiskey.
As you can witness by the photo, I've pretty much enjoyed this damned rye, corn,
and barley juice!
According to the label, it's 90 proof (45% alchohol by
volume), from Kentucky (duh!), and made using a "high-rye mashbill and pure,
limestone-filtered water."
What a high-rye mashbill is, I haven't the slightest
clue.
I don't ask the artist how they mix their paints. I don't ask the mechanic
how exactly they fixed the timing belt. And I sure as hell don't know what a
mashbill is... but what I do know is that it works and works so very, very well.
Pure artistry!
(Mind you, I'm a whiskey/bourbon noob so take what I say with a
grain of salt. Speaking of salt, I'll be listing up my favorite tequilas soon
too!)
But as for the taste of the Bulleit whiskey? I really dig it. It tastes
great, has what I would describe as a nice, easy rye burn to the throat (not
harsh at all, just lets you know it's there), and a warmth that spreads down as
the pleasing after-taste remains on. I can't go into what the palate feel is,
nor what the legs are like, or how it feels on/in the nose (again, I'm just
learning this stuff and there are figuratively tons of videos on the webs for
this sort of in-depth review. But until someone develops scratch-'n'-sniff web
pages, we'll just have to try this sort of stuff for ourselves.)
Be bold, taste all the bourbons! Uh, in moderation, of course.
I know this one for sure will be on my "Buy It Again, and SOON!" list.
For my own personal ranking system, out of 5, I'll give it a 4.5. Maybe I'll create
some clever ranking system soon, as for now, it's just numbers. So, there...
yeah.
Get out there and get yourself a bottle of Bulleit. I'll bet you'll enjoy
it. I know I will, again and again and again. (Not all at the same time, you freakin' monster. I'd
like to remain somewhat lucid.)
