Bulleit Bourbon is an American-based whiskey producer owned by one of the largest distributors of liquor in the world, Diageo. Derived from a high-rye recipe bourbon first distilled in 1830 by Augustus Bulleit, for whom the is named, this highly-crafted straight whiskey is manufactured at the Bulleit Distillery in Lebanon and Shelbyville, Kentucky. The brand uses an implementation of the original Augustus Bulleit mash bill comprised of two-thirds corn and one-third rye in their bourbon lineup, and now offers their own iteration of quality rye whiskey. Bulleit Bourbon was originally available only within the US, however, it was introduced to Australian, UK, and German markets in 2000 after the brand was purchased from the now defunct Seagrams Company Ltd. Today, Bulleit Bourbon is available throughout the world and is ranked as one of the top-selling bourbon brands in the US.
