Bulleit Distilling Company

In 1987, Thomas E. Bulleit, Jr., fulfilled a lifelong dream of reviving an old family bourbon recipe by starting the Bulleit Distilling Company. His great grand-father Augustus Bulleit was a tavern keeper in the 1830s who made a very successful bourbon. One day while transporting his barrels of bourbon from Kentucky to New Orleans, he mysteriously vanished. Inspired by keeping the legacy alive, Tom left a successful law practice and risked everything to experience life on the frontier.

The distillery still continues the Bulleit family tradition to this day, using high rye content to give it a bold, spicy character with a distinctively smooth, clean finish. Kentucky limestone-filtered water provides a foundation for the bourbon's character, while charred American oak barrels lend a smoky backbone.
