Bulleit Bourbon Launches Blenders’ Select No. 001

Diageo’s Bulleit brand of whiskey has launched Blenders’ Select No. 001.

Bulleit Blender Eboni Major combined three whiskeys for this 100-proof spirit. Aged a minimum of nine years, the blend includes notes of vanilla bean, honey, dried fruit and toasted oak, the company says, as well as a finish with sweet cream and fruit wine.

Barrel selection for this new whiskey was identical as Bulleit Bourbon. It matured in new American white oak barrels, which were flame-charred to a #4 char, with the barrel heads flame-charred to a #2 char.
