Extra-Dark Bourbon Whiskeys

Bulleit Launches New 'Frontier Whiskey Barrel Strength Bourbon'

Bulleit Whiskey has announced the launch of its Bulleit Frontier Whiskey Barrel Strength Bourbon, which will be sold at retailers throughout the United States, just in time for the holidays.

Bulleit Barrel Strength was created by emptying and blending a small batch of barrels without the use of water at any point in the process. Because of this, Bulleit Barrel Strength differs from Bulleit Bourbon in flavor and color since there is no water dilution in it.

Because bourbon is bottled straight from the barrel, unfiltered, the alcohol content varies from batch to batch but often falls between 120 and 125 proof. The new whiskey comes in a distinctive Bulleit bottle, which was inspired by the American frontier and has an orange and black label.
