In the world of bourbon, few names evoke a sense of adventure and authenticity like Bulleit Bourbon. With roots deeply embedded in the rugged terrains of Kentucky, this iconic bourbon has traveled miles to grace the shores of the Philippines. Let's embark on a journey to discover the story behind Bulleit Bourbon and its rise to global acclaim.
His dedication bore fruit when he developed a bourbon with a high rye content, which became the hallmark of the Bulleit brand. This high rye content gave the bourbon a bold, spicy character, setting it apart from other bourbons of that era. Tragically, while transporting barrels of his bourbon to New Orleans, Augustus disappeared, leaving behind his signature creation.
The Bulleit brand might have been lost to history, but in the 1980s, Tom Bulleit, the great-great-grandson of Augustus, revived the family legacy. Drawing inspiration from Augustus's original recipe, Tom introduced Bulleit Bourbon to the world, ensuring that the Bulleit family's bourbon-making tradition lived on.
