Updated July 2026.
Bulleit Bourbon and Bulleit 95 Rye are different TTB classes at the same labeled 45% Alc/Vol (90 proof) on bulleit.com. Bourbon mash is ≥51% corn. Rye whiskey mash is ≥51% rye. A 1.5-ounce pour of either flagship is 1.13 NIAAA drinks. This is not a 2022 winner.
The 10 Year rye page prints a 95% rye / 5% malted-barley mash and 45.6% ABV — that is the aged SKU. Related: Bulleit, rye vs bourbon, rye for an Old Fashioned.
